Type:  Extension to existing 1930’s brick dwelling

Date completed:  2005

Client:  2 adults/ 2 children [boy aged 6 & girl aged 4]

The existing dwelling was maintained, converted to the private zone of the dwelling, containing bedrooms, a bathroom and a kids TV room.  An entry corridor separates the existing brick dwelling from a rammed earth extension to the north/ rear. 

The new extension contains kitchen, bathroom, open-plan living/ dining and an external covered area.  A loft above contains a master bedroom.  Large steel-framed windows completely open up the house to the garden and northern aspect and concrete floors provide a robust and seamless floor finish. 

Simultaneously solid yet open; respectful yet contemporary; warm yet utilitarian
