In its own description of the house, Wood Marsh writes that "The house does not mimic historical styles found elsewhere in the surrounding context; rather it is a contemporary design that reinforces the streetscape by providing a robust and assertive presence."

The home's upper level appears as a sculptural shell, housing the home's private living spaces. It appears almost to be suspended above the ground floor, where the use of glass, concrete and zinc offers a pared back contrast to the bold façade.
