The upper level of this space is extended across the building to enable full utilization of both levels. By the act of extension, the kitchen is able to be located above, allowing a flexible, open plan living area below. The kitchen may be completely concealed behind full height sliding, hinged doors or exposed for use. This gives the upper level flexibility for use as an entertaining space or kitchen / dining room, with the roof terrace providing an external extension of this space, weather permitting.
