The plan comprises a rectangular house of sixteen bays set in a courtyard designed to the same grid. The house has a central living area flanked by central pods containing respectively the kitchen and utility rooms, and two bathrooms. At one end are two bedrooms, at the other two study areas. Continuous corridors down each side of the house give a free plan to the building, in which the bathroom and kitchen serve respectively as wholly or partially enclosed pods. The glazing is set back behind the columns and cornice so the house is shielded from the sun. The garden frontage has a near-regular symmetry of fixed and sliding windows from a central axis – the bathroom and kitchen/utility areas are treated slightly differently.
