The building façade was designed using a vernacular
language, mimicking a traditional townhouse which
preserves the rhythm and scale of the streetscape.
However, the street façade acts merely as a screen.
The intervention sought to create a buffer from the
busy street by detaching the building and creating
a garden space over which bedrooms overlook.
This detachment allows for the levels inside the
building to be adjusted for the client's requirements
by delivering two basement levels and three above
ground floors.
