"Carefully designed to maintain important thresholds of privacy on the higher eastern side and lower western park aspect, this home maintains openness towards the view and opportunities for neighbourly interaction with park users. The interlocking gables, thrust in part over the lower walls, provide attractive massing from the street. The compact and thoughtful plan, together with well-proportioned courtyards, make this house a joy for its owners."
