Interior view of a modern, minimalistic home with a red shelf holding a potted plant, high windows, and a person sitting at a desk. Sunlight streams through the windows, casting shadows on the wall and floor, with decorative items and furniture visible.

Extension and renovation to an existing Victorian semi detached house.

The project called for the creation of a social space around the kitchen and dinning areas which open he home up to the large rear garden.

The scheme uses a compact floor plan to create a space the family and friends can enjoy. The space is surrounded by covered external space so the roof pitches up to the north with high level glazing to providing a constantly well lit space while avoiding over heating.
The extension is timber frame construction, highly insulated while using breathable natural materials and clad externally in Larch. We experimented with colour for the cladding with 1 to 1 sample panels but have settled on a natural finish which will be allowed to silver as it ages.

Else where the existing house is renovated and insulated to bring the buildings performance and comfort levels up to a modern standard. A new stairs and balustrades bring life to the centre of the house allowing light to penetrate the deep plan from a new skylight above.

In a dark room with minimal lighting, a person with glasses is sitting at a table looking down at a book, with two plates of food on the table. There are tables with chairs, a window with blinds, and a set of four bright round ceiling lights in the background.
