The existing side extension was a timber frame with glazing infill - it leaked, was far too cold in winter, and hot in summer.

The aim was to unify the existing kitchen space and that of the extension  replacement. The rear, and side walls have been demolished - supported by visible steel beams and posts - and the whole rear wall will be slide glass units from GlassRooms...these are very slim and allow maximum light and maximum view. A glass box has been added to push the kitchen boundary into the garden. A sloped roof, part clad in copper provides a canopy to allow garden and house to flow into each other. The dominant feature of the roof is an oval timber light box... this should capture and project available sunlight into the centre of the house.
