A new contemporary glazed extension was added to a 1907 home in Woodhouse Eaves. Internal alterations doubled the size of the existing kitchen and defined living and dining areas were created around a feature tunnel fireplace.
The adjoining and contrasting structures were built more than a century apart and realised the owner’s vision to create a clear line of sight from the front entrance through the property to the rear.
The design extended the interior into the outside living area and brought the exterior inside, with extensive use of openable sliding glazing and a feature rooflight.
The new eight metre by five metre single storey extension is predominantly glazed. The original external walls were removed, doubling the size of the kitchen.
The extra space enabled a seating area, a larger island, a dedicated dining area and a concealed bar area.
A high attention to detailed finishes and fittings and the use of natural colouring has resulted in a seamless connection and blending with the surrounding greenery.

The project at Tara's House was an update of an Edwardian house to add an ensuite bathroom in a first floor extension on a flat terrace roof.
