The construction of a contemporary addition to a 1960’s detached property along with a rationalisation of the internal layout has created a children’s play room, utility room and a large open plan kitchen and living area in a previously disused corner of the property. The simple rectangular extension includes wrap around floor to ceiling opening glazing, an over sailing solar shading roof as well as a series of opening and fixed roof windows that bring daylight into the kitchen area of the reconfigured ground floor.
