Nestled behind a mature Jacaranda tree, a minimal lightweight wedge was plugged into the solid bulk of an existing double brick home, funneling both light and optimism back into this once dark and gloomy interior.

Clad in painted cedar shingles, the modular grain echoes the brickwork texture of the original house.
The wedge incorporates two bands of Frameless glass to the east. A high band captures the tree canopy and ever-changing sky, whilst a low band frames the intimate garden setting.
Internally, the renovated space pivots around the kitchen, the hearth of young family life. A partially reconstructed double brick arch links the original with the new.
