The first bedroom at the entrance was converted into living space by demolishing the existing wall. Now, the entrance is wider and the space receives more diffuse natural light.
The first floor addition allowed the property to become a four bedroom house. Externally, this first floor addition is well connected with the surrounding conservation area.
The roof is slightly slanted on one side for a more contemporary form – the extra space on the higher side allowing for more openings. The stairs connecting the ground floor with the first floor link two open- space areas: the large living area on the ground floor, and the study area on the first floor.
The study area receives natural lighting through the glass roof, and consequently the living space on the ground floor also receives abundant natural lighting via the void between the ground floor and first floor.
The two new bedrooms are located at each end of the first floor, the orientation allowing them to gain full advantage of the views.
