As an honouring of the Modernist origins of the home, Vista House is expanded to integrate key connections with the landscape, while continuing a similar explorative approach internally. Situated within coastal surrounds, the home and its owners echoed a relaxed lifestyle, and bringing that ethos into their newly sculpted home was key. In opening and adding an additional level above, maintaining an openness throughout, as a gesture of its era, drove the resolve. Combining reuse and a considered approach, the resulting home is a masterclass in easy living.
