#Brutalist architecture:The Charley's Gap House .

Elder Lister
The Charley's Gap House in famous' Blixen's famous Karen is a beautiful abstraction of a little Savannah inside a one acre plot. The house, carefully camouflaged by its own façade, an almost bunker response to the street, opens up to the inside into a modular framework that references its own concrete form work. Alberto Morell, himself a seasoned architect and scholar, sort to graduate and qualify privacy and openness as a pivotal theory within the one acre space as a character of spatial integration.

I feel like you would get claustrophobic. You wouldn't even hear the rain on the roof meaning any sorrounding sound would be amplified. I.e people walking around the house in the dead of the night.

This is nowhere near claustrophobic its both airy and cozy ..... check out this version .
I wonder how it works with the sun roof glass and rain. How does it flow? Is the roof on a slight gradient? Is the glass parallel to the roof so water does not pool?

Roads are designed/ built with a camber it's basically a slight slope that is barely noticeable. ...... The same can be applied on flat roofs.
