rogramme This house challenges the

conspicuous luxury of

affluent suburban dwellings

by employing materials more

commonly associated with

low-cost construction but used

with great precision. Arranged

in blocks around a densely

planted garden, the building

is experienced from the inside

out. The steel pivoting door in

the open lobby opens directly

into the garden, which acts

as cooling sink and drainage

management system. The living

room faces the morning sun

with a kitchen to the south.The bedrooms above are linked

by glazed bridges. A single

storey guest pavilion sits to the

north. The roof is lifted off the

body of the house to facilitate

wind cooling, like the tropical

Landrover from which it takes

its name.
