To create a generous space within a compressed footprint, the sequence of interior rooms in this home have been organised. A secluded sleeping mezzanine at the rear looks out over a full-height, sunny living room, which in turn opens onto a semi-public terrace, which invites casual conversation with passers-by. The exterior, enveloped wholly in timber shingles, emphasises the simplicity of the building’s overall gable volume, and is a jewel in the suburban streetscape.
