A small 1980s beach house in South Durras, NSW, Australia and sitting on a 1085.3m2 website was expanded on by Fearns Studio to give the home owners a contemporary reinterpretation of their original cottage that was now in a position to consist of a new studio and views to the bushland in the rear of the house. Incorporating a galvanized roofline to tie in with the original roof, Fearns Studio gave the new roof a new twist by employing the peak of the pitch as a beginning point of a steep decline and touching the ground close to the back of the studio whilst slicing back upwards to the front of the house, producing a triangular half of a square in profile.

Beneath the roof wing and inside the studio, the huge window glazings present views of a lush and vibrant bushland surrounding a private backyard patio. A single oversized sliding door inside the glazings creates the preferred indoor / outdoor way of life when open, but when the space is required for guests, the door can be closed off for privacy.

The original home with the updated kitchen is separated from the new addition by a narrow ground level walkway. A pre-existing door leads to this hidden corridor, which is protected by the overlapping rooflines. On the far side of the addition, the roofline is barely noticeable at ground level. Only the sharp angular and dark stroke of its ground level point betrays its existence.
