While the integrity of the traditional Victorian two-storey street facade is preserved to reinforce the neighborhood's historic streetscape, the redefined rear facade and cleverly positioned third floor addition, are boldly modern. Invisible from the street, the reconfigured laneway facade references the scale, massing, and setback of noble neighboring homes, but introduces a fresh new face to the block so that the house stands apart as a good neighbor.

Termed ‘two-face’ by area residents, the house is a study of contrasts - old and new, Victorian and modern, discrete and bold, brick and glazing, peaked and flat, outside and inside - that negotiate with one another in a seamless marriage.

为了保留街区的历史风情，维多利亚风格正面临街的两层的别墅得以保留下来，而重新修建的别墅后面以及巧妙加建的第三层却大胆地采用了现代风格。从街道上看不到新建的巷道一面，虽然在修建时参考了比例尺、概念图以及邻居别墅的缩进，但在街区之中却是一张崭新而亲切的面孔。

被周围居民称作“双面”的这幢别墅确实是对立的典范——新与旧，维多利亚风格与现代风格，迷离而显眼，砖与釉，尖与平，外向与内敛——每对元素都犹如天作之合，相辅相成。
