Aintree House appears as a floating lantern above the horizontal line of the street fence and greenery. The contrast between the lightness of the open folding roof and the dark curve timber facade allows the house to appear recessed back from the street and bring natural light to the double height entry. The impression of light and openness continues throughout the residence where the outdoor room and swimming pool are visually connected to the communal and private zones of the house. Outdoor views frame both the streetscape and northern courtyard.
