The design is an exploration of the courtyard house type, two storey form emerging from a perimeter of lower brick walls, which define the site boundaries. The perimeter walls and the house itself are an investigation into the materiality of two materials – terra cotta and timber. Walls are clad in either brick or terra cotta roof tiles whilst timber battens form sunscreens, fencing and wall cladding all in the same pattern. Photographed by: Trevor Mein
