- Geometry
- Two low-slung, flat-roofed volumes offset from one another, connected by a glazed recessed entryway.
- Facade system
- Vertical timber batten screen rainscreen over low-rise volumes.
- Structural guess
- Timber frame or light gauge steel construction.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story residential scale, intimate entry sequence.
- Lighting
- Direct soft daylight casting sharp shadows from planting and creating linear highlights on vertical timber slats.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, tactile, and private with warm natural wood tones and crisp shadow play.
- Environmental context
- Suburban setting with mature deciduous trees in the background and low-lying native vegetation in the foreground.
- Spatial experience
- Approaching across paver steppers leads to a deeply recessed, transparent entry threshold framed between solid timber volumes.
- Composition rhythm
- Strict vertical rhythm created by narrow timber slat cladding across both solid walls and window screens.
