This dynamic concept was formulated as a response to the design challenges presented by a restrictive corner site that had little suitability to a conventional layout. The result takes full advantage of the Northerly aspect and creates keen visual interest on all frontages. All living areas have Winter solar access to some extent, including all bedrooms, keeping spaces warm in Winter and bright. The 3 living areas are well zoned from eachother for effective noise suppression and utilisation by children and parents. Raked ceilings and high windows to the main living areas allow Winter sun into all key areas of the home, including the kitchen. The home is passively cooled by clerestory windows and well placed windows and doors for cross ventilation.

A rich blackbutt timber palette is contrasted with white doors, windows and trim detailing. White timber sun shades over South and West facing windows provide good protection from rain and sun, while bringing a subtle touch of antique styling to the otherwise modern home. Galvanised downpipes and guttering are paired with matching wall sconce lighting, infusing the exterior with an industrial cottage vibe. A 1.8m stone wall provides security and a solid natural aesthetic.
