The project was realised through a marriage of glass, steel, and natural stone – all creating beautiful and seamless extensions and renovations to the one storey house.

In keeping with the client’s brief, we employed the use of glass in both the entrance portal and patio extension, and off-centre structural support elements that contribute to the designs continuous transition between interior and exterior spaces and thereby allowing the living room to seamlessly live out onto the external spaces.
