Our task was to enlarge the lower ground floor of an existing Victorian terraced house, crafting a new garden room. This endeavor met several client goals: to generate ample living space near the current kitchen and dining areas, to enhance the flow between these areas and the garden, and to instill a brighter, more modern ambiance in this section of the home. The extension juts out from the original rear line of the house, featuring a west-facing window that bathes the space in afternoon and evening sunlight. A terracotta-tiled 'garden room' nestles in this protruding nook, softening the division between inside and outside. The design incorporates straightforward industrial materials such as exposed polished concrete and plywood, accented by lively green window frames and structural steel components.
