Overhanging Terrace House Design Features
The description details a house with sogeed brick walls painted white, an insulated flat metal deck roof, and a wide ashaped slate fascia from an old Goulburn house. Ten foot overhanging eaves with golden ash lining shade a front terrace that wraps around parts of the building, including access to a south side garage, while the north side remains partially exposed. The terrace wall slopes upward at corners, and the design incorporates squared Vs and negative squared As as part of the architectural concept. The architect comments on the design approach.
