I finally went searching for this house that I've been admiring from a far distance. It's perched on an escarpment that leads down to a creek and is partially hidden behind clusters of spindly eucalyptus. The house curves around, imitating the countours of the hill and drawing reflections of the trees into its panoramic glass facade. The modernist influenced exposed truss-like steel structure and the terracotta-coloured strips embellished across the top and bottom initially reminded me of Richard Rogers's houses.
There doesn't seem to be any information on the house or architect online, so I'm not sure of its provenance. This is also as close to it as I could get; slightly closer, by the embankment looking up through the trees.
