The brief was to maximise available space throughout the property without disturbing the original Victorian features. We created a courtyard between the modern kitchen and dining extension and the existing Victorian bay. The frameless glazing curves around the bay window to increase the feeling of space. The courtyard provides views and daylight from both sides and ensures that the architectural quality of the existing rear living room is maintained. The new first floor extension contains a study and bathroom that may also be used as an additional bedroom and a new loft extension provides a new bedroom.
