The house is contracted as a whole,but exquisite in detail.

Uhg … the ceiling in raw concrete is pretty ugly I think … and the ventilators on the walls, too … this is not what I like – sorry.

What’s with the ugly fans? They look so out of place.

For everything I like about the house, there is something I don’t like. I like the exterior, I HATE the ceilings, I like the kitchen, I HATE the bathroom.
So I guess it gets an enthusiastic, MEH, from me.

Quite nice, but what is with the two kitchens, two living areas and two dining spaces? Is it a double unit or duplex, and if so why is only one bath depicted?
I can no longer judge a residence simply on the beauty of the design w/o knowing how the solution accounts for or justifies the use of sustainable materials and construction practices, energy conservation, and resource utilization. Therefore I need to know more: the size, methods, materials, as well as goals and solutions in order to appreciate and wish to share.

The modernist expression of this house, in particular the Saarinen (rope covered columns)and Gropius references fit the beachside location well. The framed view is brilliantly controlled as are the excluded views of the neighbours.
The north facing, sawtooth, top insulated, concrete roof provide both light and thermal mass to balance the hot days and cool nights of the Perth climate. Low energy fans
distribute most of the mechanical cooling/heating required for most of the year.
The vertically zoned dual living facilities provide independence, if required, for parents and teenage children on a small site.
There is a lot to learn from this succesful house.
