Part2. Now a real story, an aunt by marriage and her young dentists husband were very early 60's modernists and Avant garde. They bought a plot of land along with several other professionals who designed and built individual homes. Margaret and Jacks was on the steepest slope so it was living and balcony terrace on top at ground level and bedrooms to the lower level. The whole upper living wall was total sliding windows. Double glazed too which was such a new concept in the 60's. Their home became a poster house for the double glazing industry used in marketing etc. My dad was called in to help dig out the tree stumps for the whole plot, along with others roped in for the heavy work. In fact the 4(I think) homes would have been contenders for a Frank Lloyd Wright mention āœ… Cheers DougT
