The aim of this project was to create an inter-related body of spaces, acting as a whole, within which the needs of a maturing family could be answered. This could only be made possible by addressing the under-utilised former extension to this family home; by further incorporating it into the main body of the house through a systematic removal of awkward divisions, and extending the top level so as to complete the whole. A further staircase to echo the existing main stair is inserted to connect the upper two floors thereby creating a credible top floor suite with its own roof terrace.
