The remodelled forecourt also provides
a strong sense of arrival. The design team
created a highly symmetrical entry to the
house, over a linear pond. The facade
incorporates a substantial beam that
crosses in front of the house. The space
between the beam and the building has
the same dimensions as the pond, which
brings sunlight right down to the water.
“We introduced a fully glazed entry, so
there is a direct sightline to the view, right
through the house and out across the pool
terrace on the other side,” says Mut.

Preceding pages: The major renovation of this
1960s house has created a seamless link between
the interior and a resort-style outdoor living area
and pool. The renovation was also designed to
maximise spectacular views.
Facing page and above: With its sleek new facade,
the house has a strong street presence. There is
also a new gated entry and forecourt. The former
carport is now a garage.
Top and left: The entry has been transformed
beyond recognition, with glass walls and doors,
and a linear pool with a stepping stone.
