"The topography is such that the land kind of falls away on the side street, and it reveals the underside, understorey of the house — we always imagined that'd be a great spot for an architecture studio."

"What this house does is push back against that way of thinking to show that, actually, you can build an excellent house that gives you everything that you need without building out to the boundary."
"When the weather permits, which is most of the year in Brisbane, those sliding doors fold back [to give] that direct outlook to the garden,"Mr Skepper said.
"[It also] maintains greenery in our inner suburbs, which is something that we're really grappling with as we look at cities becoming increasingly dense,"Ms Kempton said.
