          | The 
            house is sited awkwardly on the block, making any extensions problematic. 
            We concentrated on reprogramming the existing areas. | 
          Our 
            first design studies kept the living areas to the front of the house 
            near the entry and took advantage of the views over the adjacent park

          | We 
            then reversed the house and put the living areas to the north for 
            solar access and proximity to the rear garden | 
          The 
            northern part of the house is now opened up to the rear garden and 
            the sun. |

          | The 
            large sunny northern living space now has a 3.6 metre ceiling height. | 
          A 
            large and high pergola protects the south western glazing from the 
            low angle sun in summer. |
