Quietly composed.
A measured composition, drawn from the street.
Long horizontal rooflines anchor the house while stone, blackened metal and warm timber establish a calm, exact rhythm.

Street elevation · Two storeys - 02 / Driveway and garage
Arrival begins with a generous threshold.
A broad paved approach leads to the integrated garage, softened at its edges by grasses, low planting and pools of warm light.
Integrated garage · Permeable paving - 03 / Main entrance
The entrance is warm, sheltered and unmistakable.
Vertical cedar fins frame a recessed timber door, creating privacy and texture beneath the deep overhanging canopy.
Solid timber door · Screened porch - 04 / Façade details
Three materials, one disciplined language.
Coursed limestone, fine timber battens and dark panel cladding meet along precise lines, balancing permanence with warmth.
Limestone · Cedar · Metal cladding - 05 / Upper floor and windows
Light is framed across the upper level.
Deep eaves temper the glass while asymmetric window groups give each room a distinct outlook and preserve the façade's quiet order.
Deep eaves · High-performance glazing - 06 / Landscape and overview
Architecture settles into a restrained garden.
Layered hedges, ornamental grasses and specimen trees complete the elevation, giving the crisp geometry a softer foreground.

Cedar House / Exterior
Built to feel settled.
A restrained palette and clear geometry give the residence permanence, while timber, planting and carefully placed light keep its street presence warm and human.
