Um- und Innenausbau des Wohn-, Küchen und Arbeitsbereichs eines Bungalows aus den 50er-Jahren London, Ontario
A mid-century bungalow renovation precedent showing how a grid-based post-and-beam glazed facade pairs with extensive exterior timber decking in a wooded setting.
- What we like about this project
- The slatted wooden boardwalk extends directly from the foreground landscape up to the flush sliding door threshold, blurring interior and exterior planes.

- Geometry
- Low-slung single-story rectangular volume with a flat roofline and a grid-based post-and-beam facade arrangement.
- Facade system
- Post-and-beam wood framing with large fixed glass panels, sliding doors, and a top clerestory light band.
- Structural guess
- Post-and-beam timber framing with non-load-bearing glazed infill panels.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story residential scale, intimate and closely connected to the surrounding garden and trees.
- Lighting
- Bright, diffused daylight from an overcast sky casting soft shadows and illuminating the interior through large glass panels.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, transparent, and seamlessly integrated into the natural wooded surroundings.
- Environmental context
- Woodland suburban setting surrounded by tall deciduous and evergreen trees, with gravel ground cover framing the deck.
- Spatial experience
- Approach from the foreground wooden boardwalk transitions smoothly across grade onto raised timber decking right up to the glazed threshold.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical timber mullions and posts establish a steady rhythmic grid across the entire facade elevation.
