The Hortons house on Charlotte Street features eight types of plywood and solid timber. Architect Roger Egrum led the design with owner input from Vic Horton, highlighting exposed Oregon beams, water proofed heap pine, and stained Queensland red cedar doors. A central sandstone courtyard, rose-lined drive, and copper ash light fittings create a timber rich interior and exterior.
