Foyn-Johanson House | Harrison and White

We have created a garden that enjoys light all day ? the form has cut from it the rays of the morning sun to ensure light falls onto the growing area, one which the clients will use for the growing of food.

The surface created from this then becomes the external screen ? and this acts as both balustrading and sun screening to the deck and western façade. Axo
Within is a open living space on ground level, two bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor and an occupiable attic space under the ridge with views back to the city.
