01 / The brief
Designed for this place.
Resolve a combined patio and carport around the house geometry while retaining daylight through the entry and circulation zones.
The client wanted to cover their patio to extend everyday living space and add a carport alongside. The patio portion was particularly challenging, weaving around the existing nooks and crannies of the house while keeping the interior feeling light.
Over the outdoor dining area we used insulated roof panels with timber sarking underneath for a warm, ceiling-like finish. Around the circulation and front door zones we switched to opal acrylic roofing with timber battens in response to the daylight brief.
Another roof zone uses light grey acrylic, and mesh blinds were added along one side identified in the brief for wind and privacy. The covered area remains open towards the view beyond that edge.
