Fruit Box

Fruit Box is a re-imagining of a 1970s end-of-terrace townhouse on the site of a former orchard, as a robust and flexible family home. The house sat on a triangular plot with a large but awkwardly shaped garden. nimtim architects wanted to celebrate the sense of living amongst fruit trees and below the canopy of the larger trees beyond. At ground floor, views are framed with carefully positioned openings that connect the ground floor in a deliberate but restrained way. By contrast, the first floor bedroom has a wide and generous window that brings the landscape and canopy into the house.
