With laneway access at the rear , a double-storey garden studio nestles into the back of the site , providing a green backdrop to views from the calm spaces within .
the end of a long and narrow hallway . A deciduous tree that changes color with the seasons creates a focal point for the eye , as does the texture of the neighboring brick wall . The courtyard insertion also creates a more zoned open plan arrangement , with the living room enjoying a dual aspect to two different landscaped spaces . With twin toddlers needing a lot of supervision , as well as a teenager wanting more privacy and separation , the planning needed to carefully consider these spatial relationships . A multi-purpose space that fronts onto the opposite side of the courtyard allows visual connections to the rest of the house , but with the flexibility to become a guest bedroom if needed . The garden studio with its own ensuite and mezzanine is intended to accommodate a range of functions including storage , gym , home office , teenage retreat , and bike store .
