"From the Edelraut refuge in Selva dei Molini to the old stone house in Al Hamra: Exploring the Beauty of Flat Roofs" Discovering the architectural wonders of flat roofs takes us on a journey through various breathtaking locations. In South Tyrol, Italy, specifically in Selva dei Molini, we find ourselves surrounded by the majestic Pfunderer Mountains. Here stands the Edelraut refuge, its flat roof seamlessly blending with nature's grandeur. Moving eastward to Oman's Ad Dakhiliyah region, we stumble upon Al Hamra and Misfat Al Abreen. Amongst these ancient settlements lies an old stone house with a unique feature - a flat roof that has stood against time as a testament to human ingenuity. Traveling further back in history, we encounter the ruins of the British Residency at Cabul. This engraving showcases how even centuries ago, architects embraced flat roofs as practical solutions for their structures. Fast forward to 1936 when Sir Arthur and Lady Bliss sought solace at Pen Pits, their country residence adorned with tempera & pencil artwork depicting its charming flat roof design. Venturing into India c. 1928 brings us face-to-face with an Indian Village captured through monotype on paper artistry. The village's dwellings proudly display their distinctive flat roofs amidst vibrant surroundings. Continuing our exploration across continents leads us to an Adobe Village painted meticulously on canvas. Its inhabitants have long cherished this traditional style of architecture featuring sturdy yet elegant flat roofs. Heading towards Naples' hills in Italy circa 1909 reveals George Rose's masterpiece capturing stunning landscapes where houses boast picturesque views from their invitingly designed flat rooftops. The Greek Islands beckon next as we arrive at Pisso Livadi on Paros Island within Cyclades archipelago. Here lies a harmonious blend between azure waters and whitewashed buildings crowned by characteristic Mediterranean-style flat roofs.
