Another private residence in a modified

Spanish style was recently completed in the

Peak area, this one being at 563, Middle Gap

Road on R.B.L. 424. The site being situated

оп a small spur with sides sloping steeply

from Middle Gap Road, the architect, combin- ing economy and utility, brought the founda-

tions for the main floor up to the required

level by incorporating a basement and sub-

basement floors into the building design. The

result is the inclusion of an extra guest room,
