summary
Replaced the lean-to roof that covers the kitchen and second lounge with an exposed truss new gable roof. It is an extruded copy of the one that roofs the west wing of the house. Proposed new workshops (that can be repurposed into rentable rooms) to enclose the entertainment space and remodelled the existing interior. Front garden is designed to allow additional cars to alley dock in tandem on it.

summary
The book case is intended to be the focal point for the living space. It can be added to and ‘grow’ as the owners’ needs and tastes evolve. The book case is conceived as a modular wall unit. It has seating below eye level and storage at and above eye level. It accommodates a large planter box so that a small tree may be placed in it.

summary
I enlarged the bedroom to allow and made the bedroom access door come off the entrance hall. This allows the living room to have a complete or useable wall that becomes a feature for the space. The bathroom is optimised  and the parquet floor is reinstated.

summary
I switched the bedroom and the kitchen and created a walk-in closet off the bathroom. This creates more privacy - guests do not need to enter the bedroom to access the bathroom.

summary
to make more use of the limited space in the small bedroom, I raised a bed base off the floor to allow for storage beneath it. I offset the legs away from the frame’s edge to avoid users’ toes and shins from being stubbed when they circulate around the bed en-route to the bathroom. This creates a bed that floats above the restored parquet floor.

summary
I  created a generous entertainment volume which has a direct relationship with the pool and garden by demolishing the existing interior walls and drop-in ceiling and installing stackable glass doors on the entire northern facade. A new roof brings more light and manages rain water better than the thatch roof it replaces over the bar area.
