A well-resolved rural-contemporary house that reads as a bespoke, site-specific residence: a strong stone spine, timber feature volumes and a circular concrete deck/tank element give it character and presence. Interiors demonstrate considered material choices and spatial organisation (concrete-look island, large tiles, floating stairs and wide glazing), but it is a good custom home rather than an historically significant or iconic architect masterpiece.
