This award winning transformation of a 1960s bungalow incorporates a Japanese sensibility towards space that blends inside and outside to provide a seamless transition between the house and its attractive gardens. The existing bungalow was opened up to form a new living space with exposed scissor trusses and views through the building from front to back. The house, designed by Konishi Gaffney Architects, has a strong environmental pedigree with external insulation, photovoltaic panels, a ground source heat pump and water recycling sanitary ware.
