The Metal Boxed Residence renovates and expands a home through modular design, compartmentalization, and facade reinvention for increased space and modernity. Inspired by metal containers, it integrates stacked, metal-clad volumes in the backyard while redefining the facade to enhance visual identity. Cantilevered structures connect old and new, creating additional living space for a growing family, with a bridge serving as a communal gathering area. A mix of solid metal panels and glass balances privacy and openness, while metal fins shade the master bedroom from the tropical sun. The stacked design contrasts sharply with surrounding rowhouses, with recessed lighting emphasizing its bold, modern form. Inside, the layout ensures a seamless flow between existing and new spaces, uniting past and present architecture.
