The house consists of a front pavilion, back pavilion, detached garage and detached sala. The front pavilion consists of a steeply pitched pyramidal hipped upper roof structure with a lower pitched lower roof surround with the pitch being approximately 20o in a configuration requiring multiple hips and valleys. Between the upper and lower roof sections there are fixed timber ventilation louvres. In the lower roof sections, the tiles act as the primary weather protection but due to the low pitch, requires a secondary level of protection in the form of an underlayment.
