THE ESSENCE OF THE SITE REFLECTED PEACE AND HARMONY AND PAULINE HURREN WAS CONSULTED TO CREATE A DRAMATIC HOME WITH THE UNUSUAL ORIENTAL LOOP TERRACOTTA TILED ROOF LINE. CLEVERLY NESTLED INTO THE SITE TO MINIMISE THE FOOTPRINT, ENHANCE THE ACOUSTICS AND MAXIMISE THE PASSIVE SOLAR ENERGY TO MAKE THE HOME NATURALLY WARMER IN THE WINTER AND COOLER IN SUMMER. LOCAL SANDSTONE FEATURES EXTERNALLY TO ENSURE THE HOME IS AESTHETICALLY BEAUTIFUL TO THE EYE. INSIDE, THE EARTHY HUES OF THE RENDERED SOLID WALLS MAKE THIS RETREAT VERY WELCOMING.

EITHER WAY, ON A GRAND OR MORE INTIMATE SCALE THE ENORMOUS OPEN PLAN LIVING AREA WITH SOARING FLOOR TO CEILING GLASS WINDOWS AND DOORS IS SURE TO IMPRESS.
