The textured concrete walls, together
with the poured concrete floor, also create
a substantial thermal sink – helping to
keep the house warm in winter and cool
in summer. Plus the roof is very well
insulated and the expansive windows are
double glazed with LowE glass.
With no mains water or sewerage
system on the island, the house also
needed to provide its own services.
It collects its own rainwater to provide
for all domestic needs, supplemented by
an on-site bore to irrigate the garden.
Top: Floor joists for the mezzanine floor are left
unlined providing the kitchen ceiling with texture
and pattern.
Above: The kitchen sits beneath the mezzanine
level at the front of the house, its semi-industrial
design complementing the rest of the interior.
Left: Single storey structures to the side of the
main space contain guest accommodation and
ancillary spaces.
