The floor plan of the house has been carefully considered to keep circulation space to a minimum, and cleverly uses efficient storage spaces. A cast stone and timber louvered veranda creates solar shading and strong articulated shadows to the ground floor. This is acts to create a particularly pleasant space to the exterior patio areas of the south-facing garden.

A varied yet cohesive material palette has been used to great effect and promotes materials of high quality that will age well. Light toned brick of the ground floor helps relate the building to its landscape, whilst subtly referencing the surrounding farm buildings. The upper floor is clad in naturally durable timber, giving the house a contemporary agricultural feel. Zinc roofing completes all-natural material palette, and ensures a low ridge line by achieving a shallower pitch than would be possible with traditional roof forms and materials.
