This home's sculptural presence has practical purpose, with lineal concrete forms staggered along the plan to allow for solar penetration – and all held together by the sculptural roof.

Hovering above these forms is an impressive, undulating copper roof – rising from the ground at the entry in the West and stretching over the living spaces to encapsulate the first floor sleeping quarters in the East.

The roof's copper form is extruded front to back, exposing an undercroft of rich timber in the vaulted ceilings throughout the interiors.

The dining /living area is a few short steps from the kitchen. The rectilinear dining table pendant draws attention to the double height waving ceiling above.
