ALPINE LOOK

Mountain views, Disneyland rides and theatre sets provided the inspiration for CAN’s reinvention of this Edwardian home. Lightweight foamed aluminium was used to establish the mountain parapet, which was waterjet cut before being erected on a steel subframe. ‘This material is unusual in a residential context,’ says Mat Barnes, director at CAN. ‘The mix of cultural references, textures and contrasting colours results in a truly unique project.’ Beneath the mountain-top focal point sit expansive aluminium-frame glass doors with red and white columns based on ranging poles used to survey landscape.
