Fundamental to the re-design was the notion of providing "graduated connections" to the surrounding glade, physical and visual. Spaces are divided by a "blade" element that alters the entrance's appearance by extending the original chimney breast and pulls together the two floors as well as creating a stairwell that accommodates two fireplaces - one exterior, one interior. The new entry has been lowered and the structure floated over a pool of water to give a sense of lightness that reflects light into the inner recesses of the lower level through an aperture that once was the study window.

This project is a renovation of a late 1950's residential dwelling in a bush glade setting in suburban Remuera. The house is modernist in style, typical of the period with low-pitched gabled roof, raking ceilings and exposed rafters.
