The ideal occupants would desire an imaginative spatial layout, despite modest means. The central design concept is a wall that spirals, evolving like a seashell forming an organic sequence of three spaces that repeats on the two upper levels. Kitchen and bathroom services occupy the central core, which opens to form the dining room (ground floor), bedrooms (first and second floors), and finally the primary space—a double-height living room. The living room opens onto the garden terrace and is oriented for passive solar gain, with a curtain wall facing south. An insulated solid wall to the north minimizes heat loss. Nigel A.
