The project involved extensive renovations to a house originally built in the 1970s. Initially outdated and lacking connection to the rear garden, the decision was made to preserve the existing brick and concrete structure for its financial, time-saving, and environmental advantages. By stripping the structure down to its core, a completely new home was created.

One significant addition was a screened balcony on the first floor, strategically positioned to maximize exposure to northern sunlight.  The original street facade had minimal openings. The ground floor was also reconfigured to enhance access to natural light from the North, supplemented by the introduction of skylights. These modifications not only improved thermal efficiency but also facilitated better circulation and fostered a stronger connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The outcome was a markedly positive living environment that exceeded the expectations of the clients and their family.
