The Vision
This design aimed to seamlessly integrate the existing dwelling with a modern extension, striking a harmonious balance and well-organised home. The central concept revolved around a tree planted by the original homeowner, serving as both a visual and functional focal point. The client’s expertise as a landscape architect is evident in the careful planning of the outdoor spaces, ensuring privacy while maintaining a visual link to the pool and surrounding environment. The courtyard bridges the old and the new, preserving the heritage value of the original building while enhancing the contemporary addition. Overall, this project is an excellent example of how thoughtful design, a committed client and dedicated builder can collaborate to create an amazing and functional home.
