The original house sits back from a typical row of terraces. The scope extended to the ground floor only, the existing upper levels supported by new structure allowing for an open living level.

The space has a court at each end with a highly polished floor helping to draw the light in. Built for a chef and his family, the first room you enter is the kitchen, dominated by a large concrete bench. The front facade steps slightly to allow a sliding front gate.

Minimalist interior doesn't mean minimal style. The original house sits back from the neighboring terraces. Courtyards at either end. Sliding gate entry. It's all about polished concrete, light, clever storage. Love the massive concrete kitchen bench. It's a hard faced house in a tough part of the neighbourhood sitting in the gritty street. Hiding its beauty.
