The project started off as a relatively straight forward rear extension and kitchen refurbishment but when the clients agreed to include a 6m long board marked concrete wall the design took on a new dimension.

One rear corner was extended; 1m sideways and 1.5m backwards. This was all that was needed to relocate the kitchen and create a dining space and family room for the client. The 6m long concrete side wall extended above the existing ceiling by 600mm before being glazed over so that natural light can wash the wall without the space being overlooked by the neighbour.
