House in the City

Designed for a retiring couple leaving the country, the House in the City is a reimagining of the archetypal Adelaide villa. A new pavilion accommodating the living areas across the back of the house is a modern interpretation of the villa with its Dutch-gable roof and masonry construction. The transformative project breathes new life into the dilapidated old house and is a balancing act between continuity and change.
