took steps to mitigate the downsides of concrete while drawing on its strengths, creating an insulated floor slab for the home. This “eco-slab” uses up to 60 percent cement replacement (utilizing waste products from other industries) and other recycled materials to reduce its ecological impact. In addition, recycled glass was seeded into the surface of the wet concrete, so the polished floor has a glimmer — a nice combination of style and substance.

The terrace houses and cottages so typical of Sydney’s inner suburbs are usually positioned snug up against one another and traditionally bring in light through windows at both ends. Not so with this house, which has an internal courtyard that can become part of the house whenever the weather’s fine.

Cross gables. When two gables extend to face opposing directions, you have a cross gable. The roof of this house plays off the folk Victorian style that developed around the turn of the 20th century. Simpler in decoration, those houses maintained the massing familiar to more specific Victorian architecture. In this example the relatively simple use of a decorative truss fretwork establishes its identity. Notice the use of wooden brackets under the eave corners and the turned wooden porch posts. Other detailing has slight classical references, such as the window trim. The overall impression is similar to that of Midwestern farmhouses that have populated rural landscapes for nearly a century.
