Yep. As a South African I felt the same way about my high school's overly warm boys' uniform. (And unlike wealthy corps, my school didn't have air conditioning.)
The little moments of "everything's optimised for being on the other side of the planet" are everywhere once you notice them.
All of our suburbs have peaked, ceramic tiled roofs. That design makes perfect sense when you have regular snowfall, which you need to run off the roof.
Here, a slightly sloping concrete roof would be a pleasant roof-top garden, or a more easily accessible place to put a solar-powered hot water tank.
The tiled roofs are expensive, costly when they're damaged by our frequent, heavy hale, and a good place for possums to get trapped and die.
All because our architects regularly pretend we're in England.
