Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors encased in a clean, minimal design were the first step in realising the brief.
A clean, minimal aesthetic combined with removing internal and external walls realised an bright, open space.  
Central to the renovation was providing more light through skylights. The existing traditional profile of the roof / ceiling was preserved, and complimented by clean, bold skylights that enhanced the sense of space in the house.
Contemporary bi-fold doors compliment the existing traditional rooflines and open the house to the courtyard.
The existing house design was typical of compartmentalised architecture, with separated living spaces too closely connected with sleeping spaces.
