Douglas fir lines all interior surfaces and is also used for fenestration framing and shutters. "The timber frame construction is faced in brickwork where it is meets a boundary, and remaining exterior cladding is from Siberian larch. The primary bedroom and bathroom are on the topmost level, and a glazed stairwell brings light into the interior. A lower ground level studio, directly below the entrance, receives light from the front façade above. Beyond, and slightly lower than the entrance, an informal living, dining, and galley kitchen open out onto a terrace toward a walled rear garden. The entrance volume comprises two bedrooms, circulation, and bathroom. All spaces are organized around a 20-meter-long axis, starting at the front door and running through to the rear boundary. "The completed home, arranged over four slightly separated levels, follows the natural slope of the site. Statutory set back requirements and exposure on four sides impacted the design, while limited access influenced materials selections and construction methods-all had to be of proportions and weight that could be carried or trolleyed by hand into the mews. The local planning authority was keen that the project reflected its less formal backland location.
