Left: The kitchen space is completely remodeled with higher ceilings and new cabinetry and lighting, Right: The outdoor shower is secure, private, and yet open to sky.

Phase 2 of the project involved the remodeling of large rear lot space.

Floating balconies and French doors were introduced in both bedrooms in the house.

A single frosted door now extended from inside the bathroom to the outdoor shower, which was enclosed in a concrete block and open to sky.

Two concrete patios with built-in seating were created underneath the existing Oak trees. Water is extensively exploited in the landscape, unifying the various elements in the backyard.

Further the balconies and patios were lit up strategically and earth beams and landscape lighting used to accentuate the outdoor spaces.
