The original bungalow had been vacant for a while, and exhibited a typical classic layout and design: think grilled-up windows and little connection to the outdoors.

One thing that stood out was how it occupied a long and narrow strip of land, with the actual house set quite far back from the front. This feature would give rise to the idea of incorporating a modern facade that blends the indoors and outdoors.
