Extensions
More room where the house needs it, built to look as if it had always been there.
- Single and double storey
- Designed round the daylight
- Insulated beyond the rules
What makes a good one
Light from above
A rooflight over the old back wall keeps the middle of the house bright.
Materials that match
Brick, mortar and slate chosen against the house, not from a catalogue.
One floor level
The new room meets the old one and the garden without a step.
Room to live in
An extension is judged from inside. We start with where the table goes, where the sun is at breakfast and what you see from the sink, and draw the walls round that.
The structure comes second and the outside third. It is the opposite of how most extensions are drawn, and it is why ours get used.
