A extension to an impressive heritage home. A 100 year old covenant demanded any new works ‘be of brick’.

Existing brick structures that isolated the living spaces from the sunny, north facing backyard were dismantled and reassembled to optimise passive solar gain and create a direct link from the original house to the yard.

From the starting point of a cheap and cheerful box, carefully-considered segments are cut away in response to solar requirements and selected views. The internal flesh of the box is revealed at these cuts with rich timber surfaces, contrasting the raw brickwork.
