The massing and the setback of the new two-level house were designed to fit within the existing fabric of the street. The resulting building is modest in scale but has a spacious, light interior. The building exterior consists of dark and stone cladding and it blends seamlessly with the surrounding green environment and brick homes.

​

Large operable windows and ceiling fans moderate the need for air-conditioning in summer. Natural light floods in from a skylight above the stairwell floor-to-ceiling windows along the side walls. All floors are of standard brickwork and serve as heat sinks for cooling in the summer months and radiant floor heating in the winter.

​

The house was built to suit a family of five. It is a home that was designed to meet the aspirations of its inhabitants both now and in the future.
