Fords Rd
Large trees around a sloping site presented a unique opportunity to design a granny flat and rumpus room cantilevering onto the trees’ canopy. The building was approached as a thin long black rectangle facing the vegetation and split by one third of its length to create a middle patio, acting not just as an access point towards both granny flat on the right, and rumpus on the left, but also towards the original house at the back. Hardwood screens and trims around openings provide contrast against the black cladding, and combined enhances the vast vegetation around it.
