A guiding principle of the design was to promote the well-being of all members of the family, creating an environment of peace and tranquillity. With an abundance of natural light and sunshine, the spaces are interwoven with nature through the use of courtyards, skylights, glazed openings and the garden. The double-height circulation zone allows the spaces to connect whilst still retaining their privacy. Having no expansive external views, the house creates its own vistas and depth of field through the use of permeable spaces which connect to the landscape. These spaces are designed to capture different qualities of natural light, creating a moving tapestry as the house responds to the shifting sunlight of Bellevue Hill.
