这些建筑物的混凝土墙-与附近的混凝土海岸防御工事联系在一起-部分地被爬行者覆盖，以软化它们，并保护它们免受夏季阳光和雨水的侵袭。塑料屋顶，如翅膀或帆，给予隐私和保护。雨水通过一个大排水沟从屋顶收集到一个水槽中，供家庭使用。太阳能电池板增加了水的加热。预制混凝土、胶合板、塑料和采石砖等材料在奥克兰是常见的民间食品，但通常不会像这样组合在一起。

The concrete walls of the buildings- which associate with the nearby historic concrete coastal fortifications- are partly covered with creeper, to soften them and protect them from the summer sun and rain. Plastic roofs, like wings or sails, give privacy and protection. Rainwater is collected off the roof via a large gutter into a tank for domestic use. Solar panels augment the heating of water. The materials of precast concrete, plywood, plastic and quarry tile are common vernacular fare in Auckland, but not usually put together like this.

传统的阳台已经变成了屋顶露台，有篱笆和覆盖

The traditional veranda has become a roof terrace, hedged and covered- a much used dining room with a view.
