2006

The client approached us to transform their 1950s house, which had a beautiful garden but an awkward internal arrangement and garden access, and an un-loved exterior.

We redesigned the method and formality of the entrance, re-planned the interior and added a garden / breakfast room. Internal sliding doors were introduced in order that the new spaces could be combined for larger gatherings.

Western Red Cedar Shingles and solid Douglas fir posts on the veranda, with the bridge, bind the garden and pond to the house as well as linking the various elements together.
