The homeowner wanted the house to feel connected to the outdoors so an ample deck and cantilevered roofline maximises outdoor living opportunities.
Located halfway down the building, the entrance draws visitors past a floor-to-ceiling window that looks into a double-height foyer-style entry. 
The cantilevered upper storey creates additional floor space without encroaching on the narrow site. The sculpture garden is directly opposite the front door, greeting visitors as they enter.
Thermally broken glazing and a generous eave overhang are two of the sustainble elements built into the house.
The pared-back interior palette of white and natural timber is punctuated by black elements, continuing the scheme established by the external cladding and joinery.
A floating staircase leads to the upper-storey master bedroom suite, while the hallway leads to secondary bedrooms, a bathroom and garage.
The low-profile roof is punctuated by slimline 'beams' which add a vertical element to the otherwise horizontal lines.
The roof extends past the building envelope to create a sheltered outdoor space, which acts as a second living area and a transition zone between the house and the garden.
