The home was designed to minimize the impact from the summer sun by incorporating wide verandas to the front and rear elevations and allow the winter sun to enter the home via highlight north facing windows. A feature recycled brick wall was also incorporated in the design to provide extra thermal mass to collect the warmth from the winter sun. cross ventilation was also achieved allowing the sea breeze to blow through the home. The home was designed with a servery in the kitchen and sliding doors to seamlessly link the alfresco and pool area to the home.
