House One shares the site characteristics of Allambi House Two but resolves the brief on a single level. The single level and resulting broad footprint of the floor plan has evolved with the introduction of an external court yard. It is central to the floor plan providing air, interest and light to the heart of the residence. Large cantilevered overhangs extend interior space to the exterior in a procession which cascades down the river bank in the form of terraces, pools, the beach and the water.
