这座半独立式的房屋改建成了一座阁楼，占地3500平方英尺（约315平方米），共有三层，二层和三层之间有木椽相连。房子的正面和背面采用了双向折叠的金属屏风，和外部空间联系紧密。金属屏风后面没有使用玻璃，而使用了可移动的隔板，屏风的设计利于通风，而且过滤了自然光线。并列的屏风设计比较独特，整个房子看上去像个封闭的盒子。

一层被改建成工作室，有单独的入口，建在混凝土墙壁之后。房子的前后都有4米高的多孔水泥砖墙，起到了保护作用，在前后院创造了额外的空间。前院铺上了砾石和50毫米厚的黑色花岗岩石板，从大门一直到入口。三层新建了阳台，面向后花园，将之前的厚板隔断了。阳台下方有横梁，起到支撑作用，外面还有露天楼梯。

The addition and alteration to this existing semi-detached house converts the 3,500 Sq ft space into a loft by the introduction of a large triple storey void that connects the second and third floor to an attic space with existing wood rafters. The house completely opens up to the exterior through the use of bi-folding full height metal screens on both floors of the front and back facades. Without providing any glazing behind the metal screens and with the use of movable interior partitions, the large openings on both facades promote a consistent wind flow through all the interior spaces, while the screens filter natural light into the house. The ‘open’ concept throughout the house is juxtaposed by a full ‘screening’ idea that shuts the house into an enclosed box.

The ground level of the house is converted into a working studio with a separate entry, shielded behind a concrete wall. 4 meter tall perforated cement block walls protect the open spaces in the front and the back of the house, creating almost an exterior ‘room’ in the front and back yards. Loose gravel cover the front yard and 50mm thick black granite slabs are used as pavers leading to the entries from the exterior gate.

An additional balcony which faces the back garden is newly created on the 3rd level by cutting away the existing slab which previously stretched to the upper stair landing. A thick existing beam running the span of the new stair void is revealed after cutting back the slab, emphasizing the structural support beneath the new balcony. This in-between balcony space screens the open-air stair core and triple height void from the exterior.
