Glen Iris House

The project begins with the front fence, which has been cut and shaped to accommodate new metal perforated screens. These screens provide views into and out of the front yard, creating a connection with passersby.

The front of the house remains mostly unchanged, with the only updates being the application of cement bagging and a fresh coat of paint on the original brown brick walls. The existing two windows have been remodeled with perforated screens to obscure views into and out of an ensuite bathroom and a dressing room. A large timber-lined front door marks the entrance and leads to an internal circular skylight.

The rear façade features a large open steel grid that unifies the various volumes of the house.
