Terrace House 1 is a two-storey rear addition to an existing terrace house driven by the desire for connectedness to family, the outdoors, and the creation of a retreat for a frontline medical worker who is often required to work nights. From the streets and lane, the project is a pared-back, unobtrusive addition to the neighbourhood; a subtle object that aims to harmonise with existing local buildings. A fully native green roof at first floor level provides outlook from the master bedroom, a private terrace for the owner and a great place for a coffee or beer, before or after work.
