It is designed with large family outdoor decking areas, absorbing the Queensland lifestyle. The house is fitted with natural sustainable materials (zinc aluminium, concrete, rich timbers, and raw battens), aswell as green features including rain water harvesting, solar hot water system, cross ventilation etc. "Living areas and the outdoor living spaces provide protection from the elements, views and cross ventilation".
