Although altered, original foot print still exists, because its plan utilizes the original footprint, and the original steel cantilever structure which characterized that house. The discipline established by the former house is explored and developed to create a layering of orthogonal spaces both along and across the site. This layering approach is extended to vertical relationships, using void and borrowed light to enrich spatial experience.

While the house is ‘Miesian’ in concept, it obtains textural character from juxtaposition of new materials including zinc, colored off form insitu concrete, creosoted vertical boarding, ‘honeyed’ battening, stacked glass and polished plaster.
The cantilever is exploited to its maximum by a mechanically adjustable glass wall which lowers to the space below, enabling the main living space to alternate between living room and verandah. This ‘mobile’ wall is designed with minimum tolerances and intrusions to optimize its transparency. Mosquito and external blinds are integral to the system, reflecting flexibility in living conditions in the interior spaces facilitated by sliding walls. Designed by Cox Architects.
