SEARCH
A professional couple wanted this to be their long term city home.
The solution resulted in a total strip out of all levels, a new rear façade, the refurbishment of an existing courtyard which extends into the interior space and the inclusion of a pond as focus to all levels.
The bottom level is now garage, TV/ guest room and courtyard, the mid level is kitchen, dining, living and balcony space with the top level being bedroom, study and bathroom zone.
The house is small so all elements are carefully proportioned and placed. Major elements float and slip above the ground plane thereby giving a sense of extended space.
To facilitate entry of light and air movement a slice is made across each floor level culminating in a new ventilated skylight. A beautifully crafted aluminium slatted floor bridges the slice at each level and helps define either a change in level or function.
Emphasis is placed on a series of reflected and extended views to add richness to what is a small house. Open stairs, slatted floors, glass, considered openings, frames and worked edges assist in enriching these vistas
