A family home that is shielded from the street by a cloak of white shimmery amour. Hints of the domestic are offered via a cedar clad entry, with tall slender windows looking outwards.

The home is cleverly arranged to utilize a very restrictive site to its fullest potential. Spaces are organized around a central courtyard that provides a warm sun soaked entertainment area for all family activities.

Depth and layers of darkness and light are offered throughout. Simple structural forms are elegantly positioned over tiered spatial arrangements cascading down the sloping site, pulling light into the home while also offering moments of retreat. A sense of warmth and openness is achieved in a somewhat enclosed site.
