We opened up the rear of the house with over-sized glazed doors and installed an elevated deck to meet the threshold. This extends the living space seamlessly from inside to out and means the family can now enjoy the wonderful views over the garden. Our client wanted to avoid a vast extension that felt empty and cold, so we used internal partitions to create distinct areas, including a quiet corner for a desk and a cosy snug with fireplace and TV. The combined tones and textures of exposed brickwork, wooden floors, steel and painted finishes bring softness and warmth.Â
