How do you form an extension to a large 7 bedroom detached Victorian house? Our client’s conclusion was exactly the same as ours: by creating a sparkling counterpoint.
We concluded that the extension should appear subservient to the original, particularly when viewed from the road. This would be achieved by having a reduced height, great transparency, a position to one side and to the rear of the existing house, and
a narrow frontage.
These ideas gave birth to
the concept of a
lens-shaped plan.
