The starting point was typical: a tight suburban site and a limited budget. The ground floor footprint is small, but the first floor cantilevers out to create covered areas below, and a variety of smaller volumes adapt to the site conditions and allowing for a selection of views on all sides.
The main timber structure is exposed in the central space: simple columns and beams that are all dimensioned according to their load, resulting in an assembly of unique elements rather than a repeating system. The house is an organic result of the geometry of the house and its functions.

The house sits on a tight suburban site, where privacy from views were at a premium.

The elements of the timber structure, columns and beams, are not standardised but dimensioned according to the load they are actually supporting.
