Alteration to existing property, New Build
Office 1, Izabella House , 24-26 Regent Place , Birmingham , West Midlands , B1 3JN , United Kingdom
Situated in Moseley, Birmingham, our project takes a unique approach to home extension. Instead of opting for a rear extension that would compromise the beauty of the garden, we're focusing on a 'wrap-around' method. This involves encasing the existing garage in COR-TEN steel cladding, creating a cohesive and harmonious look that integrates seamlessly with the house. By building upward, we not only maintain the integrity of the garden but also transform a previously dark and uninviting space into a warm, welcoming environment. The use of CORTEN cladding brings an industrial yet refined aesthetic, enhancing both the functionality and the visual appeal of the property. This project exemplifies our commitment to sustainable and economic design solutions, ensuring that every addition feels like a natural extension of the home.
