The house is sited to hug the sloping rear boundary, orienting to the northern sun and a new garden with established trees. It has is a simple L-shaped plan, both containing and extending into the stepping garden.

An internal garden court is hidden in the depth of the plan, bridging between the floors and inverting the line of inside and outside. The brick façade is given a fabric like quality through its pattern, texture and treatment.

The underside of this looping facade tilts and lifts, admitting light and views to the ground floor public rooms, through clerestory glazing.
