Wonderful post. I really enjoy architecture under almost any circumstances. I know a couple of people from Cape Town that I probably need to visit. I would love it.

In my area windows tend to be small on the south and big on the north because of the intense sun. Most use blinds here, or a solar screen that doesn't require any window covering (it restricts vision). The Veranda concept is also in use here, extended roofs and outdoor living spaces.

Thanks for a great post. I really did like it.
