Built on the bones of a solid 1970s Rose Bay home with an existing single roof ridge to the front and a substantial addition to the rear under a new second roof ridge; these design elements are the aspects that differentiate this new Twin Peaks from the original, Queen Anne, gabled Twin Peaks house.

Bound on its northern end by the Wairarapa Stream, a body of water that feeds into the Avon River, the Fendalton House is characterised by three adjoining flat-roofed forms linked by a central visual axis and an industrial palette.
This modern guest house serves as a simple retreat overlooking Lake Washington on the western shore of Mercer Island, with an open living, kitchen and dining room on the main floor, and a bedroom with a large roof deck on the upper level.
