The two structures – one built from wood and the other from concrete, form a home office and a terrace for the property. The challenge was to create the new spaces behind the property, which
opens out to a 144-square-metre yard. But the client placed a further
condition on the build – that the garden had to remain as untouched as
possible. The architects' response was to create two elevated spaces: an
enclosed office made from glass and concrete, and a terrace covered in
dark wood decking. The structures sit at opposite sides of the yard, with the
office hoisted onto a wall above a corner patio and the terrace affixed
to the original dwelling. The outdoor space that lies between creates a
separation between home and work.
