Text description provided by architect.
Faced with the economic logic of a developer wishing to renovate an 8-unit building while adding a penthouse on the roof, the architects suggested an alternative.
Rather than creating an exclusive private space on the top floor, the project reimagines and extends the existing surface to create a new typology of duplex flats, each accessing a roof garden through double-helix staircases.
In total 11 dwellings, including the conversion of the former backyard garages into a shared garden, this development ultimately argues on its own scale and, paradoxically in the context of a private commission, for a certain idea of communality.
