A contemporary addition and transformation of dated house to create a
re-imagined and contemporary family home.

The new extension is expressed as two simple intersecting forms which define the open internal spaces within, the larger volume to the rear contains the dining space and the smaller volume to the front the kitchen.

The intersecting forms articulate the scale of the extension, providing a subtle variation in form. The extension is clad in an open jointed larch cladding which is run vertically and horizontally creating a subtle variation between the two forms.

The design significantly improves the liveability and practicality of the family home with the entire ground floor re-planned. The proposed layout creates a large open plan kitchen/ dining room that forms the social heart of the home, a new and clear and logical circulation route around the house that connects all the key spaces, a strong sense of arrival with direct views through the house and to the garden beyond and consolidated and functional and utility spaces that address the practical family needs.

Planning approval has been granted and the project is now under construction.
