a house as a mullet: business up front, party in the back. towards the street, a flat, closed plinth holds the everyday — garage, storage, hobby room, utilities. behind it, a timber-clad gable volume rises and opens fully to the garden: cooking, dining and living flow out onto the terrace.
upstairs
the gable volume stacks the private rooms above the living level — two bedrooms, office, bath and walk-in wardrobe under the pitched roof. two worlds, one house: quiet and serving to the front, open and social to the back.
