This 2-bedroom extension to an existing house is about the juxtaposition of 2 elements: a timber clad box containing the bedrooms and their en-suite bathrooms and a white painted wrap-around wall element that defines the living/dining area.
The Iroko cladding of the bedroom block reflects a belief that the construction and erection systems of building should be part of the architectural expression, with all joints and interfaces carefully designed and exposed . The main living area is open to both the pool in the front and a narrow bamboo planting strip to the rear, creating a sense of space far in excess of the actual dimension.
