The design intention was to create on this small site, a place that provides for its owners intimacy, privacy, indoor/outdoor living and lots of light and natural ventilation inside.The double height of the entry hall with the clerestory above, creates an internal void and leads the eye up, at first, to a mezzanine level and then back down and over the main living area to deck and pool beyond.In two-story space of the living area, bi-fold doors open up to a wrap-around verandah. To the back of the property, the timber deck, tropical landscaping and swimming pool dominate; to the site, the verandah flows alongside a feature canal and water feature.The double sided fireplace services the living area and the entertainment deck outside.A kitchenette to the side of the kitchen means a clutter free kitchen at all times.Open space upstairs with mezzanine easy connecting all bedrooms by a series of internal bridges,voids,galleries,openings and balconies. This allows light to carve up the spaces around the house.
