This house is located on a very steep site adjacent to a nature reserve.
Careful placement of the house on the site and provision of an upper floor
provide the occupants with total privacy from all the neighbouring houses.
All rooms of the upper floor open onto a cantilevered deck which is at the same
level as the gum tree canopies. At the lower level porphyry cladding and blockwork
anchor the building to the site, with the rear of the house delicately poised
on steel columns.
The upper floors are clad in a combination of corrugated iron, western red cedar
and fibre cement. The deck balustrade is constructed out of timber battening
and wire mesh.
