Upstairs
The upstairs areas are not air conditioned. A gap between the ring beam and roof allow air to enter the house. A ridge vent along the entire roof allows hot air to escape. This circulation, and the high ceilings, help keep the house cool in the hotter months. The extra wide eves provide shade and rain protection for the staircases.

All kitchen cabinets and the pantry cupboard are all on casters. They are easily moved for cleaning and maintenance. The cabinets are all sealed at the back, so vermin can not hide there.

The lounge room hanger door provides not only a view, but can be used to control the dry season breeze. The railing is easily removed, a block and tackle can be put on the eye at the top. This enables large objects, pianos, pool tables etc., to be brought straight from a truck to the upstairs area.

Central deck can be closed up in foul weather.

Bedroom walls extend only to the bottom of the roof trusses for cooling.

Ground Floor
The flat is air conditioned. It is built of reinforced, filled, concrete blocks. The polished concrete floor includes beautiful reddish stones from Katherine.

Studio
The studio is air conditioned. The roller door makes it useful for just about any purpose including painting a car or delivered of large objects
