Project: Shandon

Status: Complete

This project provides a new kitchen and fining space to the rear of a handsome mid-terrace Victorian home. A priority is to improve the connection between the existing house and garden, which is at a substantially lower level than the ground floor. The extension steps down to garden level, and the new roof reflects this change in level. The high level glazing also captures evening light from the west in this north-facing garden. The structure will use an entirely timber structure to avoid the higher embodied energy of a steel frame.
