This lovely Georgian house has one main limitation - it's very narrow floor plan, only 4.4M wide.
Our challenge was to create a sense of width in the basement / garden level which houses the new kitchen, sitting area and dinning area.
This called for the utilisation of every little corner of the Lower ground floor. Space under the stairs was maximised and some furniture were built in against the walls. in the middle of the house a large glazed roof, contributes to a sense of width .and allow light to penetrate deep into the plan. The exterior design is of modest proportions and light materials, featuring a living green wall which creates a sense of continuity with the garden, and reduces the perception of built proportions of the extension itself.
