Sustainable Timber Extension

The extension wraps around the existing house, pushing outward at the side to free up a larger footprint for the rear addition. This strategy allowed the architects to reorient the ground floor, opening it up to multiple garden views rather than the single frontal outlook typical of the original dwelling.

Timber cladding in a warm, light tone wraps the new volume, set against bronze-toned aluminium window frames that tie the addition visually to the existing brickwork without mimicking it. Inside, the material story continues with herringbone oak flooring, slatted wood wall panels, and a restrained, pale kitchen finished in stone.

Full-height glazing along the garden-facing walls draws daylight deep into the plan and keeps the planted courtyard constantly in view, reinforcing the connection between the rebuilt interior and its surroundings.
