Nature and natural elements are the primary factors that influenced the form of The Axis House. The name itself is derived from the axis defined by the intersection of two gently pitched roofs, along which was positioned a skylight that bathed the interiors in soft sunlight. The orientation of the rooms, and the programme in general, was calibrated to include as much greenery as possible into the spatial experience.

The architects began the design process by listening to the land, and by noting the clear vistas under the trees and the siting of the surrounding buildings. The concept was to have a transparent relation between the earth and the sky, manifested as the roof and the plinth. The planning was primarily focused towards enhancing a connection between the indoors and outdoors, making sure that the occupants and the interiors engaged with the landscape. Integrating the home into its natural setting was a key part of the design and a priority for the clients.
