back elevation
drawing on the brickwork that is predominantly present in the adjacent structures, the street facade of the house is singularly finished in brick with porous sections marking the surface in a rhythmicsequence. the traditionally solid material is explored in a 'knitted' manner, generating areas of permeability in front of the windows. the resulting effect maintains natural sunlight intake while limiting unwantedviews from the street.
street elevation
in contrast, the back elevation features a translucent treatment that stretches from the wall to the saddle-back roof. large floor-to-ceiling glass doors allow the interior to expand into the garden, both spatially and visually. this transparent finish draws in abundant natural light as well as funnels the atmosphere of the interior to the outdoor elements behind. the domestic programs that accommodate the living spaces - living, dining, kitchen, bedrooms - are placed by the open side while service programsare situated by the street.
