Mcphee Place House is an Elegantly Design

This simple courtyard house is elevated through several well-executed design approaches.  The singular form is enlivened by an elegantly scalloped edge to the street and this formal intention is emphasised through material choices with an artful composition of a charred timber membrane contrasting with a white-painted masonry core. Emblematic of an overall approach to detail, the masonry’s heft is amplified through rounded edges. The elevation to the public reserve - a principal facade, enlivening both public and private realm - is a great exemplar for Canberra.
