Roy Grounds House

A broad flat roof with wide eaves floats above the external wall on continuous highlight windows.

Internally the rooms are divided by radial walls, which stop short of the courtyard, the focus of the house.

These three step towards the driveway, allowing easy access to undercover parking, and increasingly larger courtyard gardens.

While they do not have the geometry or oriental repose of the main house, they include distinctive features such as the angled carport walls, small slatted balconies, and a double height main space, with double storey window wall facing the courtyard gardens.

This oriental influence continues to the external design, with strong solid walls, topped by projecting eaves floating above the highlight windows, and a single central large door with oversized knocker.
