'This dwelling, located on the busy arterial route of the Lisburn Road, has been extensively extended and remodelled'

'By opening the back wall of the original house and introducing this new volume the house has been radically transformed'

''The simple and careful palette of materials throws the emphasis always on that of space, which in turn reveals the relationship to the changing colours and textures of the garden beyond. The restrictive frame of the old house, has been carefully opened up, reorganised and reshaped to give a new and imaginative configuration of space, light and open plan living. It celebrates the activities of urban living while creating a contemplative sense of calm amidst the city life of the Lisburn Road.'
