A large timber garden trellis screen wraps around a new two-storey extension at the rear of the house. The screen attaches to the existing house, runs as a shading device in front of the north facade of the extension and then bends around to form an outdoor living space.

The arches take cues from the surrounding houses in Reservoir (aka Rezza). The migrant modern brick houses and their shallow porches, the timber fretwork arches on heritage verandahs, the inverse arches of scalloped white picket fences, and the varied backyard pergolas/tavernas in the area.

The screen is an over scaled garden trellis to support a productive garden which is a staple in many of the local backyards. This screen references classic garden arbours, trellises, lattice structures but is increased to be the size of the whole facade to support a productive garden with passionfruit, kiwi, and grapevines and provides the architectural device to tie the old and new together.
