The integration of a singular house into a densely populated urban fabric is always a challenge, however, The ‘Wayside’ is an exceptional example of how one can achieve this, while becoming a unifying element that allows urban continuity in a positive way. The site is located on a by-lane in Atthidiya – a densely populated suburban situation – that required the design to take an introverted approach. The architect outlined a scheme to create a house with its own interior landscape. Consequently, the design established a unified relationship with a series of garden pockets that helped to improve the quality of urban living for the residents.

It is often considered that the art of giving an existing house an architectural facelift while meeting the client’s difficult list of requirements is a challenge that entails much sensitivity and thought.
