Flat top - a photo on Flickriver

Flat top

            An unusual house, set back behind wide verges in a pleasant part of suburban Norwich and photographed on Sunday 25th December 2011 (Quarter Day).  It's an oddity isn't it?  Its flat-roofed, blocky appearance hint of Modernist aspirations, yet there is a porch with a pointed arch.  What was the method of construction I wonder.  The herringbone pattern between the floors (should one call it "nogging") suggests a decorative skin (uh-oh, applied decoration ...poison to the strict Modernist) and the windows are within what appears to be a shallow recess.  Would it have been built on a steel frame, or is it of solid concrete ...the area around the windows representing the "true" wall, with the brickwork merely an integument, for appearance only?
