The built form is light and open to bring the outside into all the adjacent spaces through large stacking doors that create elegant spaces as a part of its garden. The forms reflect and complement the existing architectural language.
An open Eastern edge connected to the spectacular range views is the defining character of the renovation. All activity within the house will inevitably gravitate year round to this liveable edge, which through a series of sensitive additions, provides year round amenities irrespective of weather conditions.
The public spaces create a coherent flexible open plan arrangement providing seamless connections from the indoors to the outdoors.
