'A home that reflects Asian warmth and lightness while integrating Melbourne's local context.' Set in the busy southeast suburb of Melbourne, the 'Tea House' hoped to capture comfort, cultural connection, and a sense of familiarity for a family of four.

Modification of the terrace house in the inner suburb of Melbourne is a continuity of space exploration after family occupancy. The project aims to reflect and celebrate the previously designed ‘Studio Garage Façade’ by incorporating the polycarbonate sheeting into the roof and ceiling of the living and kitchen area, opening onto the backyard, and forming a pergola. The moments created through innovative roofing are an exciting journey to be taken on and shared by the clients. The angled polycarbonate roofing combined with an open plan of the residence’s corridor through to the backyard visually connects the indoors to the outdoors. The project’s open plan was made possible by relocating the kitchen and deleting the corridor in between the living and the backyard area where the kitchen bench joinery extending to the living area and the backyard transforms into shelves and a BBQ bench respectively, to create a fluid connection of spaces. The materiality of the joinery pays a tribute to the steel from the existing staircase designed in the 1990s and the family‐crafted timber bookshelves.

Text by Shu Shiung Low. Now that Melbourne has experienced the world‐changing potency of a global viral pandemic, we might have a better appreciation of the world‐changing potential of an idea going viral. This project represents an effort to scale up a typology through viral repetition while maintaining architectural and design quality through imagination and playfulness. It is somewhat unique in that it is not a standalone project, but an organic progression from a prior successful design, which is arguably more representative of real‐world architectural practice. In 2016, we gratefully accepted the ArchiTeam Award in the commercial category for our Studio Garage, a typology‐busting project tackling an architectural solution to the problem of effectively working from home in a time when the “working from home” was still a relatively esoteric luxury reserved for executives with enough clout to negotiate flexible working arrangements, or small scale entrepreneurs in creative fields, such as musicians or architects.

The line dividing work and personal life are getting blurry in this age of technology, and it’s no exception for architects. This personal project, the extension to the previous Studio Garage project, utilizes similar facade but for a different purpose, and therefore, a different type of commercial space is built inside it.
