Alteration and extension to rear of a Victorian semi detached house that seeks to provide contemporary kitchen and family spaces whilst improving links with the garden
The domestic extension uses scale and proportion to create a highly contemporary space that is sensitive to the original Victorian villa situated at the heart of the Heaton Moor conservation area.
The project seeks to open the rear of the house to the garden, create a kitchen and dining space suited to contemporary living whilst improving the relationship between the inside and outside spaces by dealing with the half storey level difference in a positive manner. Transparency, light and views between spaces are all integral to the success of the scheme, creating a space that is animated throughout the day.
