This renovation breathed new life into a dark and poorly planned single-storey house by adding a carefully designed second level. Our goal was to create a home that feels light and airy while maintaining a sense of privacy. Thoughtfully integrated screens allowed us to manage privacy and flexible sun control, allowing natural light to filter into the home while reducing glare and managing indoor temperatures. Through a considered and strategic planning approach, we redesigned the interior layout to maximise the available floor area, ensuring the spaces are both functional and inviting. The result is a spacious and light-filled home that feels comfortable and operates efficiently in daily life, adapting beautifully to changing light and weather conditions.
