The existing four bedroom house on 3 levels with a geodesic dome structure on the topmost level had serious weathertight issues, which had caused damage to the building envelope and the primary structure.

As the dome would have been very costly and structurally difficult to re-mediate, it was decided to rebuild the main and uppermost floor based on the irregular floor plan of the geodesic dome structure.

The internal walls and staircase were retained and the external walls and roof re-built to a new design, which – while unique – endeavoured to retain the feel of the original house, while providing structurally sound and weather-tight detailing.

The entrance area at ground level featuring the curved staircase leads to a studio, a bedroom with en-suite and the garage.
