The use of simple linear plan forms， broken up into pavilions to accommodate the natural vegetation and site features dominate the layout. While the living courtyards， solid clay wall elements， open air bathrooms， “cooling” planted water features， connecting walkways， daybeds etc all have strong similarities to the Traditional Villa， it is the more creative ‘organic’ roof and the utilization of the roof space that is the essential difference in the design. The roof lines were inspired both by the organic shell forms of the marine environment but also by the ubiquitous dhow sails seen all over the Quirimbas on the local fishing vessels. Such a roof was seen to introduce more interest and uniqueness and will be very responsive to cooling from the prevailing winds. The interlocking forms of the roofs provide additional shading on the north sides of the gables， and the sloping angle of the ridge line aids with passive cooling by allowing the warmer air to move along the ridge line and out of the gables.
