The house is located in Margaret River, Western Australia. The clients for the house had a narrow plot and requested that their future house would have as much outdoor space as possible for the family to utilise and enjoy. As a response to this request, the concept for the design of the house revolved around the idea of making a series of external spaces; a garden for the children to play in, a vegetable patch, a space to eat in the evening and a deck to the north. The massing of the house and garage is broken down into three volumes which form the periphery to these external spaces. On arrival, you move through the front garden and a series of controlled courtyard spaces, before entering the house. On entering the hallway you move up to a raised living space which takes advantage of the view of the jarrah forest to the north. Upstairs, the bedrooms are organised in a narrow volume to enhance cross ventilation and eliminate the use of mechanical cooling systems
Tá an teach lonnaithe in aice le Abhainn Margaret, in Iarthar na hAstráile. Bhí láthair cúng ag na cliantaí agus d'íarradar go mbeadh an mhéid spás taobh amuigh ar féidir a chur ar fáil ag a dteach amach anseo d'úsáid an teaghlaigh agus chun taitneamh a bhaint as. Mar fhreagra ar an iarratas seo, d'fhás coincheap dearadh an tí mórthimpeall an smaoineamh sraith spásanna taobh amuigh a thógáil, gairdín do leanaí súgradh ann, garraí glasraí, áit le h-ithe um thrathnóna agus deic ó thuaidh. Tá mórdhlúthú an tí agus an gharáiste bríste síos i dtrí toirt spása a chruthaíonn an imlíne do na spásanna seachtracha seo. Ag sroicheadh,an tí bogann tú tríd an gháirdín chun tosaigh agus tríd sraith spásanna clósa órdaithe a fhaigheann buntáiste radhairc na Foraoise Jarrah ó thuaidh. Thuas staighre, tá na seomraí codhlata éagraithe i dtort cúng chun an trasaerú a chur chun cinn agus úsáíd córais meicniúil a dhíbriú.
