这座房子是L形的，后面有一个被困的花园，厨房储藏室附近有一个庭院，用作厨房院子，但最初是为了保存一棵成熟的树而建的。一位游客从前面的双高阳台进入，那里有一扇回收柚木的木门，上面镶着镶板，用来缩小门面的高度。在主卧室里也使用从旧庄园房屋中回收的类似的回收门窗。

The house is ‘L’ shape in plan with a trapped garden at the rear and a courtyard near Kitchen Pantry, used as a kitchen yard but originally created to save a mature tree existing in the premises. A visitor enters through a front double height verandah, with a recycled teak timber door paneled façade used to scale down the height. Similar recycled door windows salvaged from old manor houses are used in the master bedroom.

这座房子的后花园被木框固定的玻璃窗和多个窗台挂的木窗框结合在一起，在家庭生活电视房区域俯瞰着这座房子的后花园。由于隐私问题，房屋的后边界墙被提高到6米(20英尺)，使用定制的混凝土百叶窗砌块墙，因为房子位于一个高密度的城市地区，背靠背。

The rear garden of the house is overlooked by a combination of timber framed fixed glazed windows and multiple sashed top hung timber framed glazed windows in the family living TV Room areas. Rear boundary wall of the house is raised up-to 6 meters (20 feet) using a custom made concrete louver block wall due to privacy issues, as the house is located in a high density urban area with back to back houses.

在后花园里有一棵成熟的季节性果树和一棵寺庙树。在这座简朴紧凑的房子里使用有限的材料托盘，使用白洗抹灰砖墙、天然木材甲板、木框玻璃、二氧化钛混合切割和抛光水泥地板、白色水泥板天花板和瓦楞纸水泥屋面板。室内使用的现代家具是精心挑选出来的，用来装饰房子的修道院氛围。

In the rear garden rise a mature seasonal fruit tree and a temple tree. Limited pallet of materials are used in this simple, compact house with the use of white washed plastered brick walls, natural timber decks, timber framed glazed windows,titanium dioxide mixed cut and polished cement floors, white cement board ceilings and corrugated cement roofing sheets. Contemporary Furniture used in the interior is carefully selected to suite the monastic ambience of the house.
