Alexander Michael design this modern house in main object that materials are a response to practicality and should be celebrated. The Living area is basically a simple rectangular space with a polished concrete floor, eighty percent enclosed by retractable glass walls, and single-span composite timber beams supporting the sub-roof ceiling. There is no internal structure, the only division being the Utility Pod bringing the services up through the concrete slab to the kitchen, laundry, and media room.
Air, water, and fire have so many things in common when it comes to tranquillity and peace of mind. This building seems to need the air as it scoops it up and channels it through its voids and openings. The sun too is scooped up by twenty panels of photo-voltaic cells, and channelled into twelve massive batteries located behind glass in the sitting room.
