House designed by Tony Doherty for himself and his family.

The house is a perfect cube with four adjacent cubes attached at each corner. The main space has four pyramid skylights and is an entertainment area with a lounge furnished with a single long table. The intersecting cubes house various functions of kitchen bedrooms and a winter lounge. All with spectacular views out on the lush garden with rolling lawns and indigenous trees planted by the family.

Next to the house are other ancillary buildings that relate to weaving and contain looms. This is for the family run business Stephens Tapestry Studio.
