At the Residences on Rabbah Road, the design is typical of learning from heritage architecture to derive neo heritage architecture – understanding functional principles, and spatial relationships. Regarding the external morphology, demonstrating an understanding of the forms, proportions and contemporary functions of ornamentation; solutions which transcend mimetic adherence to roof shapes or traditional forms such as “Zanko”are critical.
A thorough understanding of the principles and not mere mimetics delivers the desired outcomes. This is the intent that is the core of Neo Heritage Ideation displayed in these series of houses on Rabbah Road.
