The architect explored an alternative definition of “luxury”. A Luxury attained through an honest response to the site, not through radical exploitation of expensive materials and technologies. The house takes its scale and form derived from the local vernacular and deploys a simple space-ordering logic to benefit from what the land offers. Passive solutions combined with selected energy efficient mechanicals resulted in a super-efficient living vessel with little maintenance required. A house to "live in", not to "live for".
