The project inherits the existing house’s basic structure. A strong theme of bold yet methodical contrasts, or as the designers put it: “intentional mismatches”, is evident throughout, as articulated in the design’s volumetric handling of spaces as well as the contrasting play of colours, textures, materials and, in particular, its complimentary custom detailing, sensual spatial experience and language throughout. And, subsequently, a confident, bold architectural presence and visual identity for the client prudently set within the existing building’s typology.
