DAR ES SALAAM HOUSE FOUR
HOUSE 4 - CONCRETE BLOCK AND METAL
Located in the Kigamboni Region, this house is constructed using concrete blocks for the walls and metal for the gable roof construction.
Individual Blocks
This house’s walls are constructed using concrete blocks.
Openings
The metal gable roof construction helps with heat escaping through the eaves and gaps near the roofline. These gaps are also places where mosquitoes could enter the space. The window openings are screened but are not perfectly stretched, providing another way for mosquitos to get in.
Interior Spaces
The house is 1 room with the raised bed taking up most of the space. There is a wood and corrugated aluminum door that opens inward. The concrete block walls are plastered over with concrete or a cement and sand mixture as well as paint, but these only extend up as far as the arm can reach. The roof is comprised of processed lumbar trusses and corrugated aluminum, with gaps between the roof and the walls, and the floor is a concrete slab.
