Laminate foam board seems unknown in Cyprus so the basic shell is recycled card. This was built and the detailing added.
Half way through this build I realised that I had a problem. As soon as I fitted a roof it became obvious that the single tilted flat roof looked wrong. I was forced to reassess, and re-shape the rear of the building. It needed a rear sloping roof as well as ridge-tiles.

The flat pantile roof from paper straws. |
The roof modified. |
The roof in place, with ridge tiles. |
The rendering done in plaster. Roof undercoated in burnt umber. |
Dry-brushed walls and the pantiles finished in terracotta |
The rear of the house - no doors yet.

Another masterpiece. What next? A windmill?!
