STORY

​From the beginning we were keen to build sparingly and put in a lot of time to understand the client’s lifestyle and spatial requirements. As a result, 25% of the plot area is un-built, lending itself to a large backyard garden; and another 25% makes for an indoor garden, which connects to the backyard via a little verandah.
