The original drawing is an image that constantly recurs in Michal Kruger's practice. It is somewhat based on a memory of his aunt's thatch-roof farmhouse burning down after being struck by lightning.

In South Africa, rural and agrarian architecture is heavily influenced by a Dutch colonial aesthetic, which features simplified gables, pristine white-painted walls, and grass roofs. These buildings are often found on wine farms and are surrounded by ornate gardens. In Kruger's mind, the agapanthus (a South African native flower) featured outside the house, has become a symbol of suburban bliss.
