Located on a corner plot with a large garden in Teg Down, the brief for this 1970’s home was simple - create a bright, sociable ground floor with space to cook, eat and relax with a connection to the garden.

The new single storey extension wraps around the corner of the house and provides a generous kitchen, dining and living space, utility room and WC/Shower.

The extension comprises brick and vertical rain screen cedar clad elevations with floor to ceiling glazing under a flat roof with roof lights. The glazing and roof lights bring natural light deep into the new living space and a paved terrace provides access to the garden.

The design is a modern, but restrained intervention, which unlocks the potential of the house.
