easy, says project architect Michael Wyatt.
“We stained the weathered timber cladding
black and painted the roof the same colour.
These straightforward design moves created the
edgy, modern aesthetic required.”
Steel-framed pergolas with batten roofs
replace older versions on the main building,
and provide shade – the spacing of the battens
echoes the vertical seam cladding. A new solid
front door was also added to create a more
prominent entry, and the original lean-to was
reinvented to accommodate a new kitchen.
Sliding doors improve the indoor-outdoor flow.
