A remodelling of an original state house over 2 stages:

The first stage was an addition of bedrooms and living spaces for teenage boys.

The second stage was establishing an entryway,  and providing a recluse for parents on the second floor.

From the street, you are led through a small landscaped garden onto a large sheltered porch and enter the house into an airy stairwell. At night, the translucent material at the upper stairwell gives off a welcoming glow from the street, whilst maintaining privacy internally.

The house opens out to a park, and adjustable timber screens provide privacy to the bedroom space whilst remaining open to the park and sea views beyond. A small porch is accessible from the study and bedroom to view sports games on the park. In the garden, a farm style gate leads to the open park beyond.
