Rear Extension, West End

Our own home was a very personal project… an opportunity to try some ideas I’d think twice about unleashing on an unsuspecting client. The strong form contrasts with the Victorian house but merges into the terrace by the use of a parabaloid roof. The wall stops below this and is stabilized by a buttress with the strip between wall and roof fully glazed, washing light across the curved ceiling. The end of the kitchen opens up to the garden so on warm days we can shelter from the rain while enjoying the fragrances of the flowers. The shed is of similar construction with lavender beds on the copper roof.
