Project overview
The small project at Newhaven Road is another excellent example of a bespoke design of an extension incorporated into the existing fabric of a building, helping to link garden and family areas of the main house.
Large slappings at ground floor of the two-storey house, combined with the full removal of one half of the kitchen annex, created a light and open space. The extension is primarily a timber frame with some steel strengthening added to allow longer clear spans. The roof lights and carefully integrated structural planes were necessary to allow the large glazed rear wall and airy internal spaces.
