The new living room features a curved ceiling that sweeps upwards, offering an uplifting sense of openness and a direct view of the sky through a strategically placed skylight. This architectural gesture creates a feeling of airiness and warmth, in stark contrast to the dense, structured retaining walls of the garden, constructed with Staffordshire blue engineering brick. In contrast to the light and airy rear extension, the interior of the original family home has been reimagined with bold, dark colours and rich, complex materials. These work together to compliment the intricate detailing of the original home, breathing a new lease of life into the old family home by celebrating its beautiful original features. In collaboration with 'All & Nxthing' Interior Design.
