The local firm built two storage units at either end, and treated the interiors in simple finishes to call to mind the austerity of certain religious retreats.  The home, named Urban Hermitage, was designed to establish a "monastic ambience", allowing the owner to shut out the rest of the world.

An exposed concrete wall, dark-stained hardwood floors, and a wall of windows dressed with net curtains make up the bones of the home. A small kitchen and bathroom are concealed in a large wooden storage unit on one side, and the Murphy bed, wardrobe, and additional storage-constructed with white-painted wood-are found inside the opposite unit.

The far unit reveals a full kitchen and the entrance to a wet room behind the timber panelling, and at the other end mirrored accordion doors cover give the space a lighter feel. Aside from the built-ins, the only other pieces of furniture are a wooden desk and chair.
