Brief/
The project consisted of the complete conversion and extension of an early 1970's dwelling to modern standards, with the aims of optimising the accommodation, architectural features, views and use of the site and garden.
Design/
The solution found was to extend the staircase out the back of the building to form a wide, elegant climb to a new sunroom/music room overlooking the back garden and forest. This in turn formed a key circulation point leading back into a large living room and balcony, and to the side to a new bedroom wing. Carbon-plate reinforcing technology was adopted to allow a new opening beneath an existing cantilevered concrete balcony allowing a new dining room to enjoy light and access to the patio area.
