Since the home is located within a working Macadamia farm the challenge was to provide spaces for indoor (and outdoor) “living”. A traditional solution of building in the middle of the site would not have provided this - where would the living stop, and the working farm start?
The answer was to create a “domesticated” courtyard with the entire home working as both connection and barrier to the surrounding close and distant views.
The home is an inversion of the regional Natal Veranda house.
