The Narrabundah House by Adam Dettrick features angular roof canopies which enclose both the front and rear terraces.
The front of the Australian home is slanted to one side, creating a boxed terrace with a street view that extends all the way to the distant Cuumbuen Nature Reserve. Meanwhile, the rear terrance, which leads into a scenic garden, acts as a sun trap during the winter months. The exterior of the home is clad in durable corrugated metals, concrete blocks and a large grid of windows. Dettrick explains, "The windows with small squares were an homage to the old mid-century modern house that the new house replaces."
Inside, the home is divided into two wings, separated by a long hallway through the center. The joined kitchen and dining area leads into the rear terrace through a set of sliding glass doors. On the opposite side, a pitched roof optimizes the home's natural light.
