Jonathan Lake Architects has designed the Maylands Additions. The project was carefully remodeled, extended and completed in 2010. Located in Maylands, Australia, the house is composed of two parts, an extension of the form of the existing house under which a new form has been inserted. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow to flood the interior with light and warmth. The depth generated by the several frames located in the sides articulate a play of light and shades. The new insertion is a tight skin of timber and steel that is open at the end and has carefully cut openings in its sides. Despite all contradictions, the space feels uncluttered and harmonious, everything falls into the right place.
