CedarScape is an architect-designed two-storey rear extension to a Georgian terrace in Edgbaston Conservation Area, Birmingham, currently in planning. The original brief, a full-width rear extension, front extension, and loft conversion, was quoted at £223,000. The pre-design work removed two of those interventions, leaving a single, better-placed scheme at under £127,000 that solves the brief: more space, more light, and a proper kitchen-dining-living connection to the garden. A glazed pavilion below, cedar-clad volume above. Materials and proportions calibrated to sit alongside the host terrace honestly rather than imitate it. A saving of around £100,000.
