The massing is square and clear, storey by storey. Balconies, eaves and columns give proportion without making the house heavy.

A red-brown pitched roof sits on cream-white walls, which reads warm in daylight. Slim metal balcony rails keep the elevation open. Windows are placed to match the rooms behind them, not as decoration alone.

At night, exterior lighting picks out the roof edge, columns and garden. The landscape is part of the elevation: planting softens the base of the house and ties the building to the plot.
