The project attempts to articulate site and context using an elongated formal language, renewing the relationship between the existing dwelling, existing built fabric and the seascape.
The form's spatial fluidity becomes a mechanism for occupancy and the program incorporates a main living space with terrace on the lower level, and a bedroom, ensuite and balcony on the upper level.
The design is conceptualised as a synthesis in two and three dimensions. The two-dimensional planning relationship to the existing federation house and site geometry; the three-dimensional formal connection to the wider context. The overall result is a negation of the conventional federation architecture, where rigid, orthogonal, compartmental spaces are horizontally stacked, ignorant of context.
The exterior envelope is folded, cut, extruded, and sculptured in order to fit the geometric site constraints, such as setbacks, boundaries and existing buildings. A continuous plane is perceived both externally and internally, creating a seamless of connection tectonic elements, inclusive of floors, walls, roof and terrace wall.
The existing envelope pivots away from the entry axis, providing a visual connection to the existing dwelling and maintains the entry sequence. The project initiates a new streetscape interface. An interaction space, a more open dwelling capable of projecting the individual within and beyond the environment.
