In order to maximise the garden view, the Ground floor glazing was conceived as a series of sliding doors akin to Japanese screens. The kitchen units extend seamlessly from inside to an external patio, so that in the summer the clients can cook for and entertain large numbers on the terrace. A summer annexe/home office was also introduced in the garden, using the same timber cladding as the fencing, and Maxlight glazing that matched the main house.
