The Window House involved the adaptation and reconstruction of a single-story semi-detached house, which had to be significantly enlarged to meet the growing needs of a multi-generation family. Part of the original house was carefully preserved, while a new 3-storey extension was added, which took design cues from the original structure but also introduced a modern sensibility. The Window House was designed along ecological principles—passive design, natural ventilation, rainwater and energy harvesting—with the aim of achieving net zero energy standards.
