A home for a growing young family, one in which they can enjoy and grow into for years to come. The program includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious living and outdoor dining area. With an advantageous northern block orientation, we hinged the design decisions around making the most of it, to create thermally comfortable and functional living areas. The living space comprising kitchen, dining and lounge is rectangular in form and runs in a north-south orientation with the length of the block. Pushed to the west, it allowed for an eastern courtyard that opens to the kitchen allowing morning sun to flow through. Dividing this courtyard and the garden is a covered outdoor dining room, having the dual aspect of both green spaces. The first floor houses the parents' bedroom and ensuite, separated from the rest of the house that also grabs those city views, best seen at night.
