THE BUILDING AND INTEGRATED SITE PLANNING ARE A CONTEMPORARY
INTERPRETATION OF TRADITIONAL FORM WHICH UTILISES TRIED AND TESTED
PHYSICAL ELEMENTS TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE LIVING IN SUB-TROPICAL
CLIMATES. THE RECTILINEAR FORM, ARTICULATED BY THE ARCHITECTURAL
INTERPLAY OF STRONG ROOF FORMS OVER LIGHTER STRUCTURE, OFFERS
NATURAL DAYLIGHTING, VENTILATION AND SPATIAL EFFICIENCY WITHIN A
SERIES OF LINKED PAVILIONS DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND CLIMATIC FORCE.
PHYSICAL AND VISUAL INTERIOR/EXTERIOR TRANSITIONS FORM A SYNERGISTIC
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HOUSE AND THE DRAMA OF THE NATURAL
ENVIRONMENT.
