A single-storey family house with a loft, an arched verandah and carport, shown from the design visualisations through to the finished building.

The house is arranged as a low white rendered volume under broad gabled roofs with deep timber-faced fascias, with a smaller loft box breaking through the ridge. A run of arched openings forms the front verandah and continues into an open carport at one end. Windows and doors are hardwood in a dark red brown stain, set in white surrounds. The design visualisations that open the set show the same building with a grey metal roof; as built it is finished in terracotta tile.

Inside, the plan opens into a tall living space carried up into the roof, with a sloping white ceiling, circular vents and a round light high in the gable wall, and a slatted timber balustrade to the loft above. Floors are large gloss porcelain tile at ground level, with timber-look plank in the upper rooms. Doors are solid hardwood with louvered lower panels.

The stair is the centrepiece of the interior. It is built with solid hardwood treads on plastered risers, a shaped hardwood handrail and slim black steel balusters, turning against a wall pierced by a hardwood window that lets daylight into the flight.

Construction photographs record the stair going in with plywood protection still on the treads, windows arriving taped and unglazed, and the tiling being laid. The finished exterior sits behind a white boundary wall with perforated screen panels, black steel sliding gates and a glazed canopy over the entry court.
