Our aim with this project was to maximise light ingress into the residence and optimise height, on what was previously an oppressively low first floor ceiling height, by exposing the truss structure.
Additionally, changes in the plan focused on creating natural flow of spaces in the public areas and celebrating individuality through personal style in the private apartment-like spaces.
