This perimeter fascia is reduced in depth around the bedrooms to express the hierarchy of the internal spaces. A dominant radiating wall extends out into the landscape, defining the entry. This is shown to superb effect in the Wolfgang Sievers photos of the Round House on the Picture Australia website. The wall axis also cuts through the house to form the division between the dining room and the living room and courtyard. The balcony off the living room, facing west, cuts at a tangent to the outer circle of the house forming a cantilevered, rectilinear mass that provides a contrast with the curved and diagonal axial forms.
Entry is at ground level to the south, defined by the axial wall.
The glazed entry lobby leads to an angled staircase, cutting across the diagonal axial wall and rising to the main level between the dining and living rooms, next to the pool. Arrival is thus at the centre of the house. The living room occupies three segments, the north east wall being half glazed with a large timber framed sliding glass door. The south wall is set on the 'Y' axis and divides the room from the upper level study which is located over the entry. At the end of the wall is a suspended concrete fireplace which mirrors the curved glazing of the pool surround.
