Located along the edge of a gully, the site is at the foot of a heavily vegetated escarpment dominated by a massive fig tree. At the centre of each house is a courtyard around which various spaces are clustered akin to a "village of rooms". The courtyards give the houses a transparent quality, offering visual and spatial connections throughout the houses. The materials reinforce the notion of village. Interlocking blocks of masonry, timber and zinc create complexity of forms. The timber upper storey resonates with the surrounding weatherboard houses in the street. The zinc roofs are contrasting and irregular in form and enclose upper terraces looking out to the bowl of Bronte.The sun and prevailing breezes have been fundamental in the design of the houses. During summer the courtyards draw the nor' easter breeze through the houses cooling the internal spaces.
