In this project classic formal and material motifs are combined with subtle variants in the crafting and detailing of traditional materials. Three courtyards convey a sense of space being pushed and pulled within the lightly delineated rectangular template. An adept and sympathetic deployment of form, orientation and natural materials is achieved in a sophisticated yet joyous manner. This is vernacular architecture wrought fresh, with a keen eye and alert consciousness; there is certainly a lot to admire in this small dwelling.
