The challenges for this site included the need to integrate the existing European Brick Tudour style façade at the front of the property with a new modern extension at the back, but in a seamless way. The new design also needed to accommodate all seasons, and various levels of natural light, to ensure year-round use of the rear entertainment space. Although a difficult brief, our client’s clarity, courage and trust allowed us to transform a tricky brief into a practical, holistic and creative solution. The result included a large overhang angled roof structure, which flips up to capitalise on natural light. This, along with an oversized exterior retractable blind system, assisted in creating the perfect all season multi-use space—one that can be fully controlled to obtain the perfect balance of comfort in every weather condition.

Seamlessly integrate old and new aspects of the house;
Maximise usable space;
Maximise natural light;
Develop an all-year round outdoor entertainment solution;
Provide a contemporary design solution;
Design a bespoke solution to suit a family lifestyle;
