Caulfield House is both a presence in and at harmony with its surrounding buildings, engaging passers by through its sculptural form and teasing glimpses. The zinc and concrete exterior conceals a peaceful interior oasis bathed in natural light. North facing living areas of varied scale across both floor levels join the courtyard in different ways, transforming a corridor into an outdoor reading room or simply adding volume. Natural light, winter sun and passive cross ventilation is bought into and through these areas by a central gallery and louvered clerestory, which run along the central spine of the house.
