Small yet exquisite, this intricately detailed treasure offers a serene and refined space for later life. It is an architectural response that sheds the ornate frills of a lifetime of trinkets, distilling beauty to its purest form where sculptural space, light, air, and spirituality take centre stage.

A simple yet striking extension is seamlessly inserted into a rich tapestry of aged brickwork, each piece varied in colour, texture, and form. By introducing a contemporary addition that stands apart from, yet harmonizes with, its historic surroundings, the result is a building that enriches its context, a quiet retreat with a secluded courtyard garden and delicate butterfly brickwork.

Non-conforming window reveals create contemplative seating nooks, framing views and inviting meaningful interaction between the user and the architecture. Inside, the warm tones of lime plaster and timber form a cocoon-like sanctuary, where texture and function merge in a tactile embrace. The ever-changing path of sunlight plays an integral role, blurring the boundary between indoors and out, making the courtyard garden feel like an extension of the interior.
