Architectural Design
Architectural Design
The design of the building with its roots in the traditions of Thames side architecture, has been influenced by the Shaker tradition of America.
The house incorporates light-hearted elements such as decorative barge boards, moulded carved timbers and ornate dormer windows. The house is raised 1.5m above the ground to avoid flooring and is built on two storeys, with dormer and gable windows, a verandah running around three sides and an ornamental vedette at one corner.
