The proposal involves keeping the existing outrigger which is now opened up to the garden and new extension. 

​

White painted brickwork and render provide a neutral palette which is a muted background to the strong terracotta detailing of the metalwork. This in turn accentuates the rich redness of the original Accrington brick.

​

Internally, the design creates an intimate, light-filled kitchen dining space that overlooks a west facing garden. New rooflights and picture windows focus on the dining area. A timber-lined wall continues the rhythm and materials of the kitchen, with louvred fins providing privacy and shade.

​

The proposed kitchen design is a simple L-shape with an island overlooking the dining area and garden. Full-height storage incorporates a flush detailed door that cleverly conceals access to an under-stair utility space. The soft timber finish and the clean lines of the joinery combine to create an atmosphere of calm and natural warmth.

​

The result is an extension which harmonises with the Edwardian house and is both practical and elegant.
