Power of shape and play of light are defining features of this richly textured modernist design. The sharp lines of the strong form are balanced with a layered materiality, expressed by brick, wood and steel. Thoughtful timber batten screening creates absolute privacy for the front courtyard and rear terrace while allowing these spaces to be pierced by sunlight in an intriguing way – an evolving mood, differentiated by the time of day. Steel framed glazing follows the angular roofline, a transparent focal point of the façade. Playful in character, the residence is distinctly original with undeniable street presence.
