Reconfiguration and extension to bungalow Bohemia provided a unique opportunity to strip a bungalow bare, rationalise the footprint and form, and extend deep into the garden to produce a unique single level home that dissolves the thresholds to nature and invites it into the home. Three pitched volumes of varied scale and proportion are arranged around the flat roof that links them, providing a broken and playful mass. The size, height, pitch, orientation and distance between each are designed to avoid shade, allowing the winter sunlight to flood the courtyard and the last of the evening sun to squeeze between into the garden, to block the adjacent neighbours and to control views down the garden. Punctured by large panels of glazing, positioned to inform internal function and maximise connection to the outside, but to provide privacy without the need for blinds. Despite the apparently simple tonal pallet, every detail was a complex procedure to produce what appears as an effortless solution. Without downlights, methods to deliver the light had to be developed; floating ceilings, vertical rebates and recessed skirtings all provide niches for lighting to be concealed. Hidden doors and storage within iroko joinery, plywood endgrain fabricated to seamless wardrobes and vanity units, with bespoke steel frames to support, span and frame screens, mirrors and joinery. Every element of this home has been considered, drawn and beautifully crafted.
