In addition to a new interior fit-out on this circa 1920s home, the brief was to provide a new entry procession that allows a car to enter the site, as well as owners and guests through a more discreet entrance.

The existing space between the building and boundary fence is not wide enough to house a garage door and pedestrian door separately. Naturally, GSBN took this opportunity to design a large mechanically-lifting door, allowing vehicle access to the carport with a built-in pedestrian door, providing a private entrance for owners and guests.

Behind the guillotine armature extents a steel awning that clings onto the side of the building providing a much needed covered walkway to the front door.
