This rear extension to a substantial stone villa seeks to open up the existing austere relationship between house and garden by creating a new light filled threshold space
The new family room orientates itself towards the sun and in doing so introduces a diagonal movement to the plan that offers an additional dynamic to the way the house is used. The timber and steel framed volume is clad in stained larch weatherboarding with a zinc roof and the inside will open up to the garden in numerous ways using large fold and slide doors, a single door and a sliding sofa window. The room incorporates bespoke fixed oak furniture that provides depth to the walls.
