- Geometry
- Asymmetric single-story extension volume featuring a mono-pitched glazed roof plane intersecting clean white plaster walls.
- Facade system
- Rear framed window and glazed door system meeting a steel-supported sloped glass roof.
- Structural guess
- Load-bearing masonry walls supporting a steel and timber roof structure.
- Spatial scale
- Intimate single-story domestic scale, roughly human height with a pitched ceiling peak.
- Lighting
- Diffused overhead daylight entering through the sloped glass roof, washing the white walls and timber floors evenly.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, airy, and flooded with soft diffused daylight.
- Environmental context
- Urban residential rear extension with an adjacent brick wall courtyard.
- Spatial experience
- A bright, daylit transition space connecting the indoor kitchen counter directly to a small rear courtyard view.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical lines of the timber stools balance the horizontal plane of the kitchen counter and the diagonal pitch of the roof glazing.
