This home was originally designed by a contemporary of Frank Lloyd Wright, Russell Barr Williamson. To stay true to Wright's design principles, open living spaces that flow together needed to be created. Astute space planning that included existing structural elements was essential to ensure a functional kitchen and entertainment area. The existing barriers were diminished by removing walls. Design of the kitchen (and beyond) needed to respect the style of the home and existing finishes. Following Wright's lead: fire became the "heart of home" by adding a fireplace. Pecky cypress and Lannon stone were repeated, and strong horizontal lines of stained walnut cabinetry were crafted. The herringbone pattern of the floor tile echoed the pattern of the existing flooring and angles of the floorplan.

A robust, modern, riverside home with minimalist detailing that blends seamlessly into the surroundings. The home is used as a year-round weekend retreat for a family with children and as such they wanted it to be private and offer a sense of escape and freedom. The clients wanted it to be a low maintenance, energy efficient home making use of natural materials. Clad with innovative treated timber, the house nestles harmoniously into its rural, riverside setting; making the most of its context, orientation and views while minimising any impact on the surrounding area. Two opposing blocks, forming a 'T' shape in plan, taper up in height towards the river to the east and fields to the south and define the internal spaces. The open-plan living, kitchen and dining areas benefit from fully-glazed sliding doors set in a deep reveal to the south which maximises light and provides shelter above. Large windows look out over the river and a raised, cantilevered deck wraps around the east and south elevations, creating an extension to the internal space that bleeds out into the landscape beyond.
