K2 House is the second stage upper floor extension to a renovation completed by fmd architects in 2008. The original brief for a young bachelor, was revised to now meet the needs of a young family with pets.
The cohesion of external and internal forms are expressed through the light reflecting faceted internal elements being expressed on the dark exterior with triangular metal cladding and geometric forms wrapping around both the deck area and new build.The perforated metal elements providing both privacy, shelter and shade whilst creating a sense of depth and transparency to the extension.

Our architecture and interiors tell the stories of the place on which it resides, and the stories of the people who occupy the place, both past and present. We develop site sensitive, sustainable design responses embedded with the particularities of our client, which maximises the natural amenity of the home to elevate a greater sense of wellbeing and connection to place.
Our design response oscillates between the pragmatic and the poetic, always striving for unique creative responses which are engineered for the local conditions.
FMD Architects is a practice with extensive experience in architecture and interior design of varying scales, types and budgets. The core work of the practice is boutique commercial, hospitality and residential work.
The focus on specific projects enables a high level of client service as well as an intense design process with rigorous detail.
A particularity of the practice is its extensive research into materials and product development, which equips it with a knowledge to develop rich and inventive architecture.
The personal and collective histories of our clients enrich our ideas on every project. Our methodology allows us to research thoroughly the particularity of any design brief without falling back upon generic response.
We add value through an insightful creative process to produce a unique response to each project
