The Sethi residence project presented a unique challenge: to design an expansion that catered to the family's functional requirements and simultaneously opened up the interior to the exterior yard. We salvaged the existing structure and used its geometry to add to the single-story home, striving to create a seamless, organic design. Our solution involved designing a raised deck that steps into the backyard, bridging the gap between the interior and exterior spaces and serving the existing and new living areas.

We reimagined the interior layout to create a more open and connected living area with maximum natural light. We also thoughtfully designed the new master bedroom and children's rooms to provide the family with comfortable and functional living spaces.

Our approach was centered around seamlessly integrating the old and new elements of the structure to create an aesthetically pleasing and functional space. Bringing the outside spaces inside the house, we aimed to create a harmonious blend of the interior and exterior environments.
