An eight unit infill development cleverly wrapped in a reflective glass skin that allows it to be camouflaged with its character-filled surroundings. On a street with mature trees, the variation caused by reflective panels and open voids causes the facade to have an interesting play of reflections and light during the day, The glass panels are not mounted flush to each other but instead layered like traditional wooden shingles on the older houses nearby.
