The client engaged us to renovate a 40-year-old semi-detached house in a mature neighbourhood with the hope of decluttering the house and increasing floor area.
- We embarked on achieving the following as a response to the brief:
Maximise building footprint based on the relaxed planning requirements - Create an open plan especially on L1
- Create visual connections between levels by demolishing part of the L2 slab
- Create a new building skin on L2 for solar control and privacy
The result is a spacious, bright and well-ventilated dwelling with a fresher look to boot.
