Twin Peaks House
Twin Peaks House
Mihaly SlocombeMihaly Slocombe
Twin Peaks House is a vibrant extension to a grand Edwardian homestead in Kensington. Originally built in 1913 for a wealthy family of butchers, when the surrounding landscape was pasture from horizon to horizon, the homestead endured as its acreage was carved up and subdivided into smaller terrace allotments. Our clients discovered the property decades ago during long walks around their neighbourhood, promising themselves that they would buy it should the opportunity ever arise. Many years later the opportunity did arise, and our clients made the leap. Not long after, they commissioned us to update the home for their family of five. They asked us to replace the pokey rear end of the house, shabbily renovated in the 1980s, with a generous extension that matched the scale of the original home and its voluminous garden. Our design intervention extends the massing of the original gable-roofed house towards the back garden, accommodating kids’ bedrooms, living areas downstairs and main bedroom suite tucked away upstairs gabled volume to the east earns the project its name, duplicating the main roof pitch at a smaller scale and housing dining, kitchen, laundry and informal entry. This arrangement of rooms supports our clients’ busy lifestyles with zones of communal and individual living, places to be together and places to be alone. The living area pivots around the kitchen island, positioned carefully to entice our clients' energetic teenaged boys with the aroma of cooking. A sculpted deck runs the length of the garden elevation, facing swimming pool, borrowed landscape and the sun. A first-floor hideout attached to the main bedroom floats above, vertical screening providing prospect and refuge. Neither quite indoors nor out, these spaces act as threshold between both, protected from the rain and flexibly dimensioned for either entertaining or retreat. Galvanised steel continuously wraps the exterior of the extension, distilling the decorative heritage of the original’s walls, roofs and gables into two cohesive volumes. The masculinity in this form-making is balanced by a light-filled, feminine interior. Its material palette of pale timbers and pastel shades are set against a textured white backdrop, with 2400mm high datum adding a human scale to the raked ceilings. Celebrating the tension between these design moves is a dramatic, top-lit 7m high void that slices through the centre of the house. Another type of threshold, the void bridges the old and the new, the private and the public, the formal and the informal. It acts as a clear spatial marker for each of these transitions and a living relic of the home’s long history.

This deck had many design details with this resurface. The homeowner's of this deck wanted to change out their wood decking to a maintenance free products. We installed New Timbertech PVC Capped Composite Decking (Terrain Series - Silver Maple) with a picture frame in the center for a custom design feel. The deck is the perfect height for the hot tub. We then installed new roofing on the existing gazebo along with new roofing and an Aluminum Soffit Ceiling which matched the Westbury Railing (Tuscany Series - Bronze in color). My favorite parts is the inside corner stairs and of course the custom privacy wall we designed out of Westbury Railing Posts and Timbertech Fascia & Risers. This complete deck project turned out great and the homeowners could not be any happier.

In 2021, Reynard Architectural Designs accepted its first design project. Our team partnered with Tobars Dobbs to transform a tiny, abandoned ranch in West Atlanta into an expansive contemporary modern home. The first floor, existing brickwork, and main structure where kept in tact. The original ranch was a closed floor plan with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with an extended hallway. All the interior finishes, appliances and walls were removed to convert the home into an open floor plan that maximizes space on the first floor. The finished home is a modern contemporary design that doubled the number of bedrooms, created four accessible outdoor decks, and created a fresh look that balances simplicity with plenty of character. The home on Shirley Street takes advantage of minimalist/modern design elements, clean white countertops and cupboards that are complimented nicely by classic stainless steel finishes. The original ranch home was once confined and segmented. Now, an open stairway that is bathed in natural light leads to the main living space above. Low profile jack and jill vanity mirrors, a soaker tub with a view, and a spacious shower all highlight the serene master bathroom. The master bedroom makes great use of light with a small, private transom above the bed and easy outdoor access to a private patio deck behind the main sleeping quarters. A private getaway shaded by the surrounding live oaks is just what's needed after a long day at work. The home on Shirley Street features four of these private patio decks that provide additional entertainment and relaxation space.

Lange schon hatte die Familie aus Nienhagen bei Celle nach einer passenden Terrassenüberdachung für ihre sonnige Terrasse gesucht. Allerdings gab es eine Herausforderung: Der rechte Teil der Klinkerstein-Hauswand ist einen halben Meter zurückgesetzt, sodass eine Kante in der Terrassenfront am Haus entstanden wäre. Für die Installation einer PALMIYE Pergola-Anlage kein Problem: Denn durch eine konstruktive Lösung mit zwei SILVER Plus Anlagen bot sich die perfekte Lösung für die anspruchsvollere Architektur des Hauses. Der sonnige, wunderschöne Garten wurde dank der eleganten und flexiblen Pergola-Anlage von PALMIYE zum wohltuend Schattenplatz, von dem aus man die liebevoll gepflegte Gartenanlage wunderbar genießen kann.

This private third story screened deck is accessible only through the owner's suite in the loft. A ground level deck is available on the front, and a second story deck sits below this one and is accessed via the back hall as well as the main floor owner's suite. Each deck is 8' deep and 23' wide. The secluded setting in the pine forest is peaceful, especially at sunrise. Durable materials were chosen for the exterior in an effort to reduce maintenance in the wooded location.

Clear Lake Summer Cottage
Clear Lake Summer Cottage
Kos InteriorsKos Interiors
The Clear Lake Cottage proposes a simple tent-like envelope to house both program of the summer home and the sheltered outdoor spaces under a single vernacular form. A singular roof presents a child-like impression of house; rectilinear and ordered in symmetry while playfully skewed in volume. Nestled within a forest, the building is sculpted and stepped to take advantage of the land; modelling the natural grade. Open and closed faces respond to shoreline views or quiet wooded depths. Like a tent the porosity of the building’s envelope strengthens the experience of ‘cottage’. All the while achieving privileged views to the lake while separating family members for sometimes much need privacy.
