The functional internal plan of the house, upstairs and down, is clearly reflected in its exterior form. At ground floor level the entrance foyer leads onto a large open-plan living room. Careful choice of materials differentiates public and private spheres - the rougher surfaces of precast concrete pavers and rendered walls, and galvanised steel on the outside contrast with polished surfaces, coir matting and parquet flooring inside. Above the entrance is a small balcony.
