Vertical Intersect
The open-plan kitchen and dining space is punctuated by a double-height space, which loosely divides the two zones of use.
The spaces are further delineated by large, white sculptural volumes, which define soft edges between them while providing storage. The kitchen is articulated as a composition of smaller-scale volumes variously finished in stone, timber veneer, and white paint.
The double-height space encourages social interaction between the ground-floor living space and the lower-ground floor dining space.

From the interior, windows to the rear elevation appear as voids in the plastic solid of the building volume, glimpsed between the sculptural planes of blade walls and volumes.
A central volume of storage loosely divides the ground-floor living space into two zones, while doors concealed in this and other adjacent volumes allow the space to be separated into two rooms.
The bedroom levels can be open-plan or divided into separate rooms by doors concealed in white-painted and timber-clad volumes and planes.
The second floor hallway is naturally lit—directly by a frameless roof-light, and indirectly by a wall of sand-blasted glass to the top floor bedroom
The top floor accommodates a glass-roofed shower, and a bedroom with its own small living space, top-lit by a motorized glazed roof and frameless roof-lights.
