A deep roof overhang, electronically
operated louvres and clerestory windows,
together with motorised internal shades,
help control sunlight and heat.
There is a small courtyard to the rear of
the house, accessed from the kitchen. This
provides an open-air retreat when the sun
is hot or the prevailing winds are on shore.
A swimming pool at the side of the house

a retractable pool cover that extends out
from a slot in one side of the surround, at
the touch of a button.
