Screened in Japanese Garden
This is the starting point for the building. Inspired by the screens to merchant shops and Geisha Houses in japan. The screen now allows a view out reminiscent of looking through a bamboo grove, and lets in the straight shadows of the bamboo culms. The garage burrows into the site, with copious glass facing the garden and adjacent hill.

Entry
The long overhang and new porch lend shelter from the rainy months while making ones way from the garage/shop to the front door and new porch roof.

South Wall
Materials are sustainably harvested IPE siding and studs acting as a curtainwall for the tempered glass panels rescued from Glazing shop's scrapyards.
