When presented with a house of strong formal nature and symmetry it is necessary to respect and continue the elevational treatment of that dwelling. The major element of the extension, visible from the public arena, takes its cue from the existing fenestration and composition to sit harmoniously alongside. In the more private garden to the rear, the new garden room extension mirrors the elegant proportion of the existing house but with a little more contemporary style, introducing crisp materials and detailing with large areas of movable glazed screens to open fully onto the garden.
