The site is a long narrow ribbon: its topography starts with a flat transition to the street and then descends 15m to sea level. The concept was to arrange a sequence of interior & exterior spaces along the length of the site, but to consciously avoid a 'blinkered' effect common to a narrow site facing sea view.

Exterior & interior spaces alternate to encourage permeability of the space along the extended length of the site. Spatial composition is simple solid & void, however complexity is introduced to the spaces through movement across the plan and through the three-level section.
