for their design of house in never, never land they made four major decisions; 

to mini­mize tree and shrub remo­val or pruning on the allot­ment, raise more than 80% of the buil­ding mass on piles to avoid any sort of dis­tur­bance on the ground  (paving, crops, wate­ring or other input) which might even­tu­ally alter its properties, clustering all the waste fil­te­ring and tre­at­ment equi­p­ment and com­pensa­ting for the amount of sub­strate affec­ted by the foun­dation by inclu­ding an equi­va­lent mass of sub­strate in vari­ous parts of the skin around the buil­dings, mixed with a water-retaining gela­tin to repro­duce the mois­ter of ori­gi­nal soil in shallower con­di­ti­ons. the design work began with phase 0, con­sis­ting on the close scru­tiny and map­ping of every tree and shrub. the geo­me­t­ries of the pro­ject were  then adap­ted corre­spon­din­gly and the con­struction was inscri­bed in the space 
avai­la­ble in between the threes, which thus flow through the buil­ding interiors.
