Brief

Create a flexible, seasonal space to extend the current living room space and maximise the view.

Challenges & Solutions

The existing deck area was insufficient for outdoor furniture and facing east had a magnificent view of the ocean, however became shaded over the course of the day. Because the existing substructure of the deck was steel, it became useful to cantilever sections of new steel to enlarge the floor space. The addition of glass as the only external material accentuated and enhanced the view. The crowning detail was the curved corner glass that created a dynamic shape and a seamless view. With an operable roof that enclosed the space yet allowed sun penetration and ceiling mounted heaters the space became and all season space.

Materials

About the
Professional

At Starbox Architecture - we humanise spaces.

This means creating spaces that promote social interaction, engagement and connection. We focus on spaces individually, collectively and how we experience spatial sequences.

We are driven by the brief, site location, local elements and human value. We believe that working collaboratively alongside clients and consultants with effective communication, ensures that the brief is ultimately addressed and realised. Our designs are individual, site specific and client driven with character, purpose and individuality that are intimately connected to the client.

We respond to the context of the site in a dynamic manner that is both relevant and appropriate to create a built form that is physically beautiful and enriches the lives of it’s occupants pragmatically and aesthetically. We are always conscious of passive environmentally sustainable design principles which include consideration of the material palette and the manner in which the building elements are connected to the surrounding environment. We are a multi-disciplinary practice that has delivered many projects of varying diversity, scale and complexity and has proven capability in both design and delivery.
