TUDOR HOUSE
OVERVIEW
The existing layout and kitchen in this mock Tudor property wasn’t fully meeting the needs of the Client. Some spaces were underutilised whilst others were cramped and failed to provide enough storage. By extending the building to the rear on the ground floor and reconfiguring the layout, coherent space was created which met the needs of the family. This included the addition of a new guest room on the ground floor and additional office space for the new home-working lifestyle. On the upper floor, the master bedroom was extended to the side creating a covered car port below.
The rear extension draws on the character of the existing property whilst providing a contemporary twist. The dark timber borrows from the beam detailing of the front elevation. In contrast, the interior of the covered porch area is clad in white timber panels. It provides a sheltered external space which was a key requirement in the brief. The dark timber continues as it wraps the first-floor extension which benefits from large glazed Juliet windows.
