"Providing the visual key to the design is a large multi-coloured woven artwork that the clients acquired in Mexico. The artwork's qualities – including colour, circular motif, physical layering, and perforations – inform the details and textures of the project. Pervading Inside-Out House is a design maturity born of rhythm and layered nuance that is usually reserved for far larger practices. Rethinking, clarifying, and reconceiving the house as a home, furnishings, lighting, and an abundance of customisation are all considered and wholly fitting to the project."
- Gillian Sersier, Australian Design Review
