The first consideration for the transformation of the property was to be respectful to the character of the original home. The pavilion is deliberately physically disconnected from the heritage cottage, with a covered external breezeway separating the two. “The extension utilised a deliberately different form however it borrows shapes, scale and materials from the original house,” says Terry. “While it does look quite new and different, it’s based on the forms and proportions of the existing house.” For example, the datum from the front verandah roof serves as a parapet line to the living level of the pavilion, while the verandah floor aligns with the kitchen louvres.“The extension utilised a deliberately different form however it borrows shapes, scale and materials from the original house.”


“The process of articulating an idea allows it to develop.”

Original article published 26.02.2020 It has been confirmed that the world’s largest annual furniture and design fair, which has been running for 58 years, Salone del Mobile postponed until June 16-21, a delay of approximately 2 months. Following an outbreak of more than 200 cases of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) in the Lombardy region in Italy, of which Milan is the capital, the decision by festival organisers to postpone has been made with the full support of the mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala. Italy has the largest number of reported cases in Europe and seven deaths have been reported so far. In a video statement released overnight on twitter, Mayor Sala, who stood between Emanuele Orsini, President of Federlegno Arredo Eventi, and Claudio Luti, President of the Salone del Mobile, said: “I am calling on our colleagues in the furnishing sector and the Salone del Mobile to pull together to make sure Milan doesn’t grind to a halt. We need to work objectively to stop this virus spreading, but we must also take care not to spread the virus of distrust.” He went on to implore hoteliers not to spike accommodation prices during the new June dates and called on the Italian government to provide support. In addition to the tragic loss of life, Coronavirus has caused, 2,700 at the time of writing, the virus is set to severely impact the global economy in its aftermath.

Street trees protect the building’s patrons from prying eyes.

Oui J’aime Hotel appears to be not much more than a slither of a building – but turn left at the corner and its monumental aspect will be revealed.








A re-orientation of the spaces to the internal courtyard was needed to ensure adequate, natural, cross ventilation.


Whilst the internal planning offered up minimal design challenges, bringing the building up to a habitable state required significant attention. “The clients had lived in the space for a year before I started work on the project and their major issues with it were that it was boiling hot in summer, freezing cold in winter and when it rained they could not hear anything due to the noise from the tin roof,” explains Ian. The roof required new heavy insulation and a re-orientation of the spaces to the internal courtyard was needed to ensure adequate, natural, cross ventilation. To this end, a series of glass louvred windows were added and the original double-hung timber windows around the perimeter were retained. In addition, ceiling fans and a hydronic radiator system were installed.Very little has been done to the exterior of the warehouse, the bulk of the changes occurring internally.
