This contemporary extension provides a family space with strong links to the rear garden whilst juxtaposing the Victorian architecture of the house. The extension replaced an uninspiring 1960s brick extension which the clients referred to as "a crime scene"! It is designed to blur the boundaries between the interior spaces of the house and itself, and between the inside and the outside. Folding / sliding doors open up to connect to the external space which is defined by a angled perimeter wall. Timber glulam frames form the principal structure providing a contemporary aesthetic with some resonance to the existing building. The design was featured in "25 Most Beautiful Homes in the World" 2008 edition. Client Testimonial: "Having found our new home, we knew that we needed some visionary help. From the point of deciding on a design to the completion of the build, Kevin and the space* studio team where there to facilitate the smooth, seamless running of all the processes involved, taking the hassle and aggravation away that comes with such processes. They were there from conception to completion, giving guidance, support and expertise. I would without hesitation use the space* studio."
