The use of white materials and textures creates an ever changing appearance for this family home. This creates a welcoming experience for the family and visiting guests as the light plays through louvred screens and double height spaces. The lack of front fence and large amount of planting gives back to the neighbourhood, while the side entry garage lessens the dominance on the street.
A key consideration in the design was the reflectance of the white; it reduces the occurrence of overheating and lowers the long term maintenance of the materials - therefore lowering the carbon footprint of the building.
