About Memoir of Childhood Reminiscence Kazi Kuu: Nyumba ya Makazi
Maandishi ya Kitabu: Kumbukumbu za Utoto ni nyumba ya makazi iliyoko kwenye eneo la kona huko Kogarah, Sydney, Australia. Nyumba hii ya ghorofa mbili ina basement yenye maegesho ya magari na hifadhi, ghorofa ya chini yenye mpangilio wazi, vyumba vinne vya kulala kwenye ghorofa ya kwanza, na matuta ya darini yenye bustani. Ukuta wa nje uliopindika unafuata mkondo wa kona iliyopanuka na umefunikwa kwa vigae vya udongo wa terracotta. Paneli za terracotta zenye ubunifu wa kisanaa zinakumbusha kumbukumbu za utoto za mmiliki kuhusu uvuvi, kurusha kite, na muziki wa asili. Madirisha na baraza zimewekwa kwa namna ya kunasa mandhari ya jiji, mwanga wa asili wa jua, na mzunguko wa hewa wa asili.

The stepped roof is the result of following sloped terrain, resulting in green and terraces in lairs.
