​The idea of wrapping continues to the façade of the project. The addition is wrapped in a grained façade occasionally broken by triangular windows. The intent was to make it look like a box wrapped in the cladding, and the gaps became the windows. The geometry of this allowed an articulation of the form where long lines are carved into the façade to define the different moments of it and create a framework for the elements of door, window, and cladding to sit within. There is a nice moment where the back gate is carved off by a line of geometry that runs east to west. Added to the geometric juxtaposition of the old house to the new is the colouring of it, literally black and white. The cliché is slightly tongue-in-cheek but allows easy distinction so the heritage of the original is not lost or corrupted.
