In transforming this residence, we sought to create an undeniable street presence on the highly exposed corner site. The roof of the existing residence was replaced with a bold tapering shape, which both protects the occupant's privacy and disguises the property's three storey's within. Interior spaces are arranged around a feature timber wall, which cuts through the centreline of the building. The vertically battened Blackbutt wall breathes excitement into an otherwise uninteresting hallway in the children's wing.
