But isn’t giving your neighbors a view of the horizon/skyline a purpose? If everyone built huts on their roofs, then you’d have to build yours one higher to get the “escape” feeling, and there is the beginning of skyscrapers. “It creates a great deal of quite [sic; assume they mean 'quiet'] and even privacy…” only because she’s the first/only one to do it.

Something about this concept seems a tad elitist to me.
