Outside, the existing shed was converted into a private gym and a new glass pavilion was introduced to make the most of the garden. The cantilevered roof of the pavilion is supported by a single internal wall that provides privacy and directs the view across the water basin and over the newly landscaped garden.
Upstairs the previously U-shaped 2nd floor was infilled with a 30 sqm roof extension to create a luxurious free flowing master suite around the new central staircase.
