Al-Bakliya Resthouse
Kafr al-Hima, Egypt

"This remodelling of a resthouse for M.E.G. Takla Pasha was for his farm on an agricultural road in Kafr al-Hima, and was intended as an adjunct for a large villa already built within a walled compound. Watercolour renderings of this project that have survived indicate the importance that the architect placed upon its presentation to the client." (construction not verified)
