Opening up the view
What's the project?
Ground floor rear extension replacing a conservatory.
Why is this special?
Big folding glass doors keep that inside / out feeling whilst the floating roof keeps it snug all year round allowing space to flow through to the kitchen.
The Challenge
This double fronted house already had enough space, but the main rooms were isolated from each other and from the garden by an old leaky and hard to heat conservatory blocking the view.
Our Solution
The rebuilt extension combines a ‘floating’ solid and well insulated roof for comfort (psychological at night as well as thermal) raised on full height glazing to make the most of the view over the gar-den. A a deep light slot between this and the house brings daylight to the original dining room and kitchen, now flowing into the new space.
The Results
An all year round inside / outside space that really feels like sitting in the garden.
