The View

Brief Create a flexible, seasonal space to extend the current living room space and maximise the view.

Because the existing substructure of the deck was steel, it became useful to cantilever sections of new steel to enlarge the floor space. The addition of glass as the only external material accentuated and enhanced the view. The crowning detail was the curved corner glass that created a dynamic shape and a seamless view. With an operable roof that enclosed the space yet allowed sun penetration and ceiling mounted heaters the space became and all season space. Materials Curved glass window, Steel substructure.
