Wormit Extension

The house is built into a slope with two storeys on the street side and a disconnected basement at garden level. Considering the northerly outlook and exposed site, we proposed to extend the dining space with a bay window and create a new stair giving direct access to a new living space below with connections to the garden. The basement storage area was converted to create a new bedroom, shower room and utility to the rear.

The overtly contemporary bay window slides out through the skin of the original building cantilevering out towards the Tay Bridge. This floor to ceiling glass box creates a light airy sitting/dining space. Full height shelves line the stair slot with an overhanging plywood desk to maximise the space above. Directly below this bespoke plywood shelves for vinyl hide a sliding partition giving flexibility to the living space below.
