The ground floor is set forward of the first floor to provide balconies. Three rendered bands to central bay and corners at first-floor level.

Middleton suggests that painter Piet Mondrian may have lived or more likely visited the house, and influenced the design of the bathroom, but there is no available information to substantiate this. Middleton 2002.
