The site of the home was chosen for its fantastic, elevated views of the surrounding orchards and distant vista of the sea.
It's nestled across a moderately steep north east facing slope which has been densely planted in natives. Large eastern facing glazing let in the morning sun and views while high windows to the west capture the last of the afternoon's rays.
The roof is a play of different level planes with deep eaves supported on bold, regularly spaced columns. The Entry is strongly defined and amazing views are framed over the stairs of the entrance hall.
There is easy access to the outdoors through large sliding doors to verandahs and the northern entertainment terrace. The kitchen, dining and living room are connected in a relaxed, open plan but also defined as their own separate spaces with the use of differing ceiling heights.
