George Kouparitsas Architects revitalized the Dohori House, a pre-war residence in Ascot, balancing modernity and historical charm. The design incorporates open-plan living and five spacious bedrooms while maintaining the original home's character. The use of robust cast-in-situ concrete for the extension reflects Brazilian subtropical architecture, providing thermal comfort and aesthetic appeal. Outdoor living spaces facilitate a connection with the lush garden, aligning with the climate. The spatial design encourages a gradual reveal from the modest front to expansive rear, enhancing the living experience and promoting interaction.
The design draws inspiration from Brazilian subtropical architecture, emphasizing a strong connection to outdoor living and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The home's transformation balances modern amenities with the preservation of its historical identity, retaining the charm of the original pre-war dwelling.
