Two sunrooms located near the new wooden windows of the refurbished space offer a comfortable reading space near the yard, providing the family with the opportunity to enjoy the surrounding environment year round. The staircase connects the spaces and allows a complete reorganization of the home’s original interior design, representing the verticality of the tree.
Perched on the peak of the new space, the mezzanine is home to the master bedroom, with direct access to a new rooftop terrace. The mezzanine is cantilevered on both sides of the home and yard, floating over the neighbouring homes and minimizing the modifications made to the original structure.
