The design reinterprets the traditional housing style of the era while creating a style of its own. The gabled roofline was extended over the entire house to unify the original model with an earlier addition. The new second-floor bedrooms are situated under dormers that contain a continuous ribbon of windows, creating the impression of a large, single space from the street. A new master bedroom suite is located over the entryway, and a private balcony is carved out of the roof, creating an oasis for the residents to watch the sunrise.
该设计重新诠释了那个时代的传统住宅风格，同时创造了自己的风格。山墙屋顶线延伸到整个房子，以将原始模型与早期添加的模型统一起来。新的二楼卧室位于老虎窗下，老虎窗内有连续的带状窗户，给人一种远离街道的大而单一的空间的印象。入口上方设有一间新的主卧室套房，屋顶上刻有一个私人阳台，为居民创造了观看日出的绿洲。
While the front façade respects the heritage of the neighbourhood, the rear elevation is dramatically modern and is shaped by the functions of the interior. The edges of the roof are punctuated by new dormers with an oversized window to flood the interior with natural light. The standing seam metal roof and horizontal white siding draw inspiration from the original cladding of the house. The monochromatic exterior serves as the perfect canvas for the Guards Red entry doors, bringing life to the façade.
虽然前立面尊重邻里的传统，但后立面却非常现代，并由内部功能决定。屋顶的边缘被新的老虎窗打断，带有超大窗户，使自然光充满室内。立缝金属屋顶和水平白色壁板的灵感来自于房子原来的包层。单色外观是 Guards Red 入口门的完美画布，为外墙带来生机。
The interior was reorganized and optimized to create an open plan. The new entranceway creates a welcoming place for the residents, and doubles as a foyer for a home office. The key space in the home is the double-height living room which connects both floors of the house. The second floor hallway looks into the living room and serves more than mere circulation: it doubles as a homework station for the family’s young children. Each workstation is anchored by a large skylight that provides views of the epic garden. The skylights are strategically positioned low enough to enable the residents to admire the treetops, but high enough to provide privacy from the adjacent neighbours.
内部经过重新组织和优化，形成开放式布局。新的入口为居民创造了一个温馨的场所，并兼作家庭办公室的门厅。家里的关键空间是连接房子两层的双层高客厅。二楼的走廊面向客厅，其作用不仅仅是流通：它还可以作为家庭小孩的家庭作业站。每个工作站都有一个大天窗，可以欣赏到史诗般的花园的景色。天窗的位置策略性地设置得足够低，以便居民能够欣赏树梢，但又足够高，以保护邻近邻居的隐私。
The backyard was envisioned as an outdoor living room. Tiered plateaus create separate zones for relaxing, eating & gardening. Warm wood tones contrast the black & white cladding to bring balance to the façade and enable this modern design to compliment this mature neighbourhood.
后院被设想为一个室外客厅。分层的高原创造了单独的休闲、饮食和园艺区域。温暖的木质色调与黑白覆层形成鲜明对比，为立面带来平衡，并使这种现代设计与这个成熟的社区相得益彰。
