Double storey residence with flat roof shows indirect design similarities with the modern movement buildings of the ‘Bauhaus’ movement based in Europe. Established in 1919 in Germany the typical design elements of the ‘Bauhaus’ are the flat roofing with the railing to be used as roof terrace and the cubic shaped building blocks with vertical and horizontal window openings accentuate the facades. The corner window was used to break the cubic form and to give the interior enough lighting. Architect possibly Leopold Grinker
