该计划是围绕中央脊柱组织的，空间定位于特定的观点。开阔的规划起居区无缝地流经一个宽敞的北方露天甲板，向西北方向延伸，还有一个带有烧烤和室外壁炉的可供选择的遮蔽空间。相比之下，卧室则受到了更多的保护，百叶窗可以升起来，以抵御夏季的阳光，保持较凉爽的温度。

The plan is organised around a central spine, with spaces orientated to specific views. The open plan living area flows seamlessly onto a generous northern open deck to the view, and an alternative sheltered space with bbq and outdoor fireplace, to the north-west. The bedrooms are in contrast more protected, with shutters that lift up to provide protection from summer sun, maintaining cooler temperatures.

材料主要是木材，有染色船板覆层和胶合板衬里。裸露的结构是刚毛，地板是kwila。半透明元件用于屋顶和包层的部分，给循环空间和室外火灾区域带来了微妙的光线质量。

Materials are primarily timber, with stained shiplap cladding and plywood linings. Exposed structure is saligna, and flooring is kwila. Translucent elements are used in parts of the roof and cladding, introducing a delicate light quality to the circulation space and outdoor fire area.
