The ground floor was opened up as much as possible, introducing an open-tread staircase, clear sightlines through the house from the front door, and a large expanse of folding/sliding doors at the rear to flood the space with light. Upstairs, the same theme of openness continued: existing flat ceilings were removed to open the master bedroom up to the steep roof pitch, and new electronic rooflights were added to create a dramatic, light-filled volume. Externally, the house was rendered and given a new front door, completing the shift from a tired, dated dwelling to a home defined by light and energy.
