- Two-story rectangular brick mass with a lower, extended single-story concrete colonnade and roof overhang forming a terrace.

- Concrete frame with masonry infill and slab overhang.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story residential scale with a single-story colonnade.
- Lighting
- Soft, even daylight casting gentle shadows under the deep overhang.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, grounded, and integrated with the surrounding landscape.
- Environmental context
- Suburban or rural green setting with lawn, trees, and native planting beds.
- Spatial experience
- The approach transitions from natural landscape across an open lawn to a covered outdoor patio leading into glazed interior living spaces.
- Composition rhythm
- Regular columnar spacing supports a strong horizontal beam and overhang, contrasted with three spaced upper windows.
