context

​

Provide a new kitchen, laundry and covered outdoor space to engage with the environment.

 

solution

​

• The northern rear wall of the house & downstairs laundry were demolished and a new kitchen & upstairs laundry / store room attached 

• Large sliding & folding timber doors allow a seamless transition between internal & external living spaces 

• The new plywood kitchen also has large timber sliding windows as a kitchen bench servery to the new deck 

• The white slats that clad the demolished laundry were re-interpreted as a protective privacy screen and balustrade wrapping the deck & eaves of the new structure
