This charming two storey Inter-war brick residence required significant reconfiguration of the living areas to create an interconnected sequence of flexible and highly functional everyday spaces. A pronounced relationship between the interior and landscape is created through an addition whose walling literally disappears to connect with the surrounding garden.

A specific request was to create flexible spaces that transition with ease from providing solitude and intimacy to encouraging interaction between larger, more social groups of people. For example, shifting from a family dinner to entertaining feels natural; inhabitants can distribute themselves to the adjacent lounge or the concrete ledge around the perimeter of the building.
