From the street, this private, timber-clad house appears as a singular, solid mass, with the entry tucked into its volume. A protective roof hovers overhead, with living spaces carved out beneath it. The subtle angles of the exterior walls create moments of intrigue, while providing pockets of shade and shelter around the perimeter of the house. Upon entry, the house reveals itself as two wings wrapped around a sheltered courtyard garden, framing the views over the valley to the north-west. The northern wing, housing living and entertaining spaces, is situated to make the most of all-day sun while sheltering the private wing, in which a series of north-facing bedrooms culminates in the master suite with commanding views.
