Due to the sloping nature of the site, on arrival the
house appears to be a two-storey dwelling. The
natural fall in the topography allows the design
to cascade down the slope and evolve into a three
story dwelling, featuring in / out living to the large
rear terrace.
The final design integrates the three levels. On
arrival the large entrance hall spills into the
formal lounge and study, which overlook the
double volume space.
Two separate staircases lead either to the top
floor master suite and bedrooms or down into
the double volume living space and kitchen. The
house revolves around this magnificent double
volume living space, which has a two-storey wall
of glass facing the garden and golf course.
Externally it was important to create a landscaped
garden, from which one could enjoy the fantastic
views over the golf course, whilst retaining ones
sense of seclusion.
