- Facade system
- Slatted timber rainscreen cladding in contrasting black and white profiles with large-format sliding glass door assemblies.
- Structural guess
- Steel portal frame supporting the flat roof extension beneath existing masonry walls.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story residential scale, creating a low, ground-hugging extension beneath taller historic brick structures.
- Lighting
- Bright daylight with clear, soft shadows, illuminating the garden landscape and reflecting off the expansive glass surfaces.
- Atmosphere
- Clean, crisp, and open, balancing crisp black-and-white contrast against natural green garden surroundings.
- Environmental context
- Suburban residential garden setting flanked by neighboring masonry townhomes and mature greenery.
- Spatial experience
- The extension creates a seamless horizontal continuity between the manicured garden terrace and the bright interior living spaces.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal slatted lines wrap the corners, met by the clean verticality of the sliding glass panels and framed window.
