Projects
These are 3 recently-completed houses which kept the existing buildings but renewed them with new amenities and additional spaces for an update on contemporary living.

The additional rooms were housed in a new 3-storey 'tower' which acts as a dramatic counterpoint to the horizontality of the existing house and forms the fourth enclosure to the private and secured courtyard. It is accessed from the split-level bedroom wing and also from the courtyard.
This is an existing 1-storey house built in the '70s with a semi-enclosed courtyard and split-level bedroom wing. The new occupants are a family of 6 who needed another 3 bedrooms for the adult children and grandchildren.
The geometric language of the existing house is extended to the new 'tower'. The existing terrazzo flooring of the main living spaces were polished and restored, as were the timber parquet flooring of the existing bedrooms.
