The brief called for a home fit for a growing family. In order to match their lifestyle, better connections between indoor and outdoor spaces were established, enhancing the use of natural light and encouraging the improved use of passive heating and cooling. Connecting the front and rear garden through the house and optimizing the connection between the interior and exterior, these modules allow for the realization of the brief.
Taking cues from the original dwelling, the new home works to a similar footprint and incorporates the existing sandstone plinth into the landscape design, anchoring the building to the site.
Instead the backyard acts as an extension of the indoor living spaces which smoothly transition into the outdoor thanks to large expanses of glass.
Designed to capture sunlight in winter and exclude it from heating up in summer, the house incorporates moveable timber battened screens which not only help to soften the form by adding layers and texture to the façade, but aid in preventing solar heat gain by giving control to the occupants.
