Design Haus were commissioned to extend and modify this 1920s family home in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire. The design focused on the specific ways in which the new spaces would be used, and the positioning of the windows and doors were aligned to suit the individual pieces of furniture that were expected to be used in the space. Externally, we chose to celebrate the difference between the old and new parts of the house, with the bold finish of the wood creating a contrast with the existing structure. Internally, we retained the large openings between the existing house and the new extension, which permitted spacious flow through the home and increased the natural light in the original house. This project was featured in Grand Designs magazine, and Good Homes magazine.
