This base form was further chiseled with structure, daylight /ventilation and viewpoint concerns..Using timber from a renewable source, coupled with building technology that utilised a hybrid of traditional mortise and tenon joint system with steel bracketing, this house was able to push the ubiquitous “boxed” building envelope for timber residential construction..” Distinctive cantilevered form, interesting interior volumes, abundant wood, mezzanine, interior courtyard, adequate glazing, natural light and views..
