The house designd by Rex Lin Architects is situated in a heritage overlay zone with height control. The site area is approximately 808 sqm and has a steep slope from the entry to the back. The design has radically modified the slope to create a flat level for the entire internal space and garden, making it user-friendly and complying with the height restriction from a covenant on the title.

The QL House project designed by VISIOARQ ARQUITECTOS was an exercise in balancing volumes and landscape integration. The articulation of two superimposed and perpendicular volumes generated not only a particular spatial dynamic, but also different visual relationships between full and empty, between light and dark – caused by the dynamics of shadows – between the private and semi-private areas and the view of the surroundings.
