Untitled #1 is an Addition and Alteration (A&A) to an original pitched-roof corner terrace house, nested in a neighborhood consisting of an eclectic mix of single-storey houses and mid-rise apartments.
Cost-benefit analysis resulted in the decision to keep the original house and build a new rear extension, maximized to its allowable building height and set-back requirements.
The result is a tower-like structure rising above the original house to complement its taller neighbors in scale and form. Random openings, of various shapes and sizes, look out to its surroundings and obscure the reading of a 2-storey rear extension with a loft.
