Material and construction methods were radically different to normal domestic construction in order to satisfy both usual and performance criteria e.g the long free-standing walls require a reinforced concrete frame. Special steel beams used to create the large 12M span and cantilevered main roof with slim overall cross section. Unique structural frame-less glass walls (without fins) have an ultra large 1.8 x 3.6 module grey limestone was used extensively externally and internally for continuity. Sto render and insulation system has been used to provide both high performance and seamless detailing (i.e. no DPC, coping or expansion joints). Underfloor heating was used to eliminate all grilles or radiators.

The kitchen bathroom and special furniture are all-purpose designed and through the use of ventilation and flue pipes are co-ordinated into a single vertical duct element. A 80m deep well was sunk to provide a permanent water supply to the lake.
