The plot is unusually elongated and closely buffered by neighbours on both sides. the house is composed with three concrete boxes along a linear axis tracing the length of the plot, with the middle block pulled outward to one side. The architecture combines that rawness of off-form concrete walls and aluminium panels with a timber appearance that clad the sides of the house, the roof and an impressive cantilevering canopy sheltering the car porch.

The structure of the canopy is integrated into the concrete structure so that it maintains a light appearance while spanning eight metres to provide abundant shade.  As the land is on the axial of the north-west and south-east orientation, the front of the house has the morning light and breeze while the rear has a stunning view of the sunset.

Large windows open the interior to the outdoors along its long axis while walls with little or no openings on the side elevations shield them from the neighbours and the harsh afternoon sun. This orientation also optimises the natural wind flow within the site while the larger openings allow much better passive cooling and ventilation for the interior as the architecture’s biophilic qualities.
