Redevelopment, and extension to, a Grade B listed building set in the remains of a walled garden
The house, originally designed in 1963 by Peter Foggo of ARUP Associates, had become dated and failed to meet basic building standards. The renovation maximises the amount of working space in the original building and adds a 650m2 open plan extension.
The new extension echoes the existing building using a similar palette of materials but in different formats and proportions. The northern end of the extension sits into the old garden wall helping to form a perimeter around the external courtyard.
Sustainable measures to maximise daylight, passive ventilation and cooling helped the building achieve a BREEAM excellent rating.
