The Brief
Though providing a lot of accommodation, the established home’s circulation flow and orientation of living spaces needed some improvement.
The Process
The final design limits the demolition and proposes an internal reconfiguration of the spaces. The main element is to provide an open plan living and kitchen area that extend from the backyard elevation to the northern elevation, providing cross-ventilation and new views to the garden.
A steel structure and timber addition to the north elevation will provide an outdoor living space to the north.
