A small balcony in Chicago, Illinois makes good use of a 10’x16′ retractable canopy with a reduced canopy drop. Manufactured in a Ferrari Terracotta fabric, the homeowners flange mounted the canopy system between the wall and their rustic structure.

Face-lift and addition to a retro 70's A-Frame beach house in Goolwa Beach, South Australia. Living areas were relocated to second floor and large deck added to give indoor-outdoor entertainment with stunning views of the beach. The open plan living/kitchen area has lofty high ceilings and features the original exposed steel structure and floor framing giving the home an informal beachy vibe. The upper (loft) level is now a light filled retreat/look-out thanks to addition of skylights and a crows nest balcony. A spiral staircase connects the living level and loft. The loft floor was cut back mezzanine-style and overlooks the living space below. The net effect is connected, open, informal living that suits a beach home.
