Text description provided by the architects. Our reaction to the setting of an existing Queenslander - a site which is heavily overlooked by 5 neighbouring properties - led to the construction of a facade that idealises the setting for new rooms accommodating a bathhouse, stair room, guest room, family room and a writer's studio. The principal orientation of these rooms is manipulated towards the north and backyard landscape compositions are framed with carefully positioned apertures and orchestrated lines of sight. Views of neighbouring houses are edited from key moments of occupation in the new rooms.
