Design factors which influenced the floor plan include a desire for the living area and two bedrooms to face the golf course; each dwelling to have its own ground level courtyard entry from the west adjacent to a common motor court; living areas to have natural through ventilation with sun and light from both east and west sides of the plan.
Exterior styling is simple and bold utilizing a composition of planar elements, crisp white rendered forms and battened aluminium screens, articulated by deep recesses, folded planes and daring cantilevers.
