The interior face of the wall acts as an anchor to the house that embeds it into the landscape, it is visible from every space.

Inspiration from architect:
The wall forms a protective courtyard space continuing in the relationship between building and landscape through a type of embedded occupation.
Internal organisation is anchored around the wall and orientated towards the views and sunlight. Spaces unfold with a rich materiality that reflects the landscape as one moves through the house.
