Pod design ...
The house is arranged over three cube shaped sections, which the Ralphs call ‘pods’. The central one is a single storey open-plan living area with the kitchen in the middle and utility behind, a dining space that feeds out onto the front courtyard garden, and a day lounge area that faces out onto the rear patio and garden. The rear two-storey pod has the childrens’ bedrooms and bathroom, plus a playroom on the ground floor with big patio doors on to the garden. A wetroom and guest bedroom are also in this pod, with the guest room facing the internal courtyard. The front pod hosts the master suite, dressing room and bathroom upstairs, with a snug lounge on the ground floor that faces the same internal courtyard.
