Concept Plan

Indoor and Outdoor Seating Areas Face Garden

Comfortable Furniture Layout

Feature Glazing is Fixed to Frame the View of the Planted Areas

Existing walls will be plastered and the outdoor seating area will be partly sheltered by the roof overhang, which is designed to admit the low evening sun

The rooflight is positioned to orientate the optimal furniture layout

This image shows the space with glazing omitted

The board marked concrete shell has been detailed with 3 layers; interior and exterior faces of concrete, with an inner layer responsible for insulation and waterproofing.

The roof windows fit the site formed openings

Interior

There is a 370mm level change bethween the interior and the garden.

Door to outdoor space

We are currently working on this new 22m2 living space for a family with a keen interest in gardening. This angular configuration highlights the maximum length of a suburban garden, and creates the impression that the relatively small external space is much larger than it is. The indoor and outdoor seating areas will address the garden, while occupying a minimal footprint, leaving lots of room for plants and trees!

This version of the design features a technically challenging double layer of board- marked concrete for the interior and exterior walls, polished concrete horizontal surfaces and bronze- framed floor to ceiling glazing. The form has been developed with a proportional system to impart a sense of unity on the non- orthogonal layout.
