From the Architect: "The brief was to design a home with quality spaces rather than a quantity of unnecessary ones. The clients had worked with another architect on a first floor addition and realized for the cost of the building, they were adding potentially unused space for a very high cost. The clients came to me wondering if they could achieve the bare minimum for their family, which would then allow for the quality items within those spaces.

"The brief for the project was a light-filled, semi-detached dwelling with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open, private living area for a family of four."
