The exterior design of this house, in mass a natural expression of plan elements, is based on the theory that the small house should in form, fenestration and detail be static. The subjective street front and the objective garden elevation bear out the plan theme.
While latitude of material and finish is possible, the design suggests the use of masonry walls and metal fenestration. In style the design theories of plan and elevation seemed most successfully to be attained in the contemporary manner.
Spatial sequence of living areas, by defining without limiting area function increases the sense of size and allows for large scale entertaining. The limited front fenestration reduces the entrance lawn requirements opening the house towards the garden and increasing outdoor living facilities which in addition to the bedroom sun deck, accessible to garden by exterior stairs, include living and dining terraces located to assure sun or shade at any time of the day.
