Doherty Design Studio采用了一种精简的方法，使这个爱德华时代的家庭住宅与当代相关联。依靠色彩和几何形状，Grid House变得既俏皮又优雅。前花园里，白色尖桩栅栏搭配绿树成荫的街景，营造出整洁清新的居住环境。天蓝色的前门暗示着住宅重获生机。基于街道规模限制，工作室向上开拓，为这个四口之家创造出更大的居住空间。 Grid House by Doherty Design Studio employs a pared-back approach to draw an Edwardian family home in Malvern East into contemporary relevance. Leveraging colour and geometry, the new incarnation is both playful and elegant. Presenting as a white weatherboard, complete with a white picket fence, decorative woodworking and a tidy front garden, Grid House assimilates into its leafy streetscape without much more than a sky blue front door to hint at the resurrection that has taken place inside. Home to a family of four, the clients had outgrown the home over time. Without much leniency in the scale of the site, the only way to go was up.

Grid House重新规划了厨房、餐厅和客厅，使其面向游泳池和后花园，联动室内外。进一步强调这种联系的是一个向后花园延伸的玻璃体块。 Integral to the new look and feel of Grid House was the reorientation of the kitchen, dining and living areas to face the pool and garden, creating a verdant interior backdrop and connecting inside and out. Accentuating this connection even further is a ‘floating’ glazed box, where a rear volume juts out to cantilever over the garden.
