Kitchen for slate wall extension

Extensions – slate walls & glass roofs

Brief

To take a tight, steeply sloping site and find ways to alter and extend a 30’s dwelling to create modern family spaces, ensuites for all bedrooms and new storage for bins and bikes. Every corner was examined.

Solutions

We gave infill extensions around the house slate walls and glass roofs – local slate to emphasise the hillside character of the site and glass roofs in response to the tight site. These decisions help to provide a clarity between new and old.

The glass roofs were then extended rearwards to cover a new back stair and in the process, absorb an outbuilding into the plan. The rendered dwelling could now be opened up in subtle alterations.
