Their family was growing and the budget was tight, and so their addition, Tattoo House, designed by Andrew Maynard is a simple box turned into a nicely detailed living space. The solution is open space in which every detail is designed to function with a maximum return. For instance, the bench in the kitchen becomes a part of the stair.

The UV-stable stickers of trees aren’t just mere decoration; they function as live trees. They provide beautiful patterns on the inside and provide relief from solar gain through such a large window wall. The shadows and colors cast by the trees continually change through the day, providing the space an ephemeral quality.

    I think such a house next to ndd style stone fence. Very like transparent walls and interesting stamps with trees. Well done!
