The rear renovation was inspired by the three mature trees in the backyard. A crepe myrtle, jacarandah and magnolia.

The new building showcases the trees and wraps around the exterior of the site creating a courtyard and allowing the inhabitants to live in and appreciate the backyard and the trees most of the day.
