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.
The zinc box extension includes a rooflight and internal glazed doors to enable light to enter the extended bedroom.
The lightweight timber frame construction reduced the load on the existing ground floor construction and is a quick form of construction.
The design sought to contrast and complement the conservation area property’s existing character, whilst creating a beautiful architectural addition with a playful interior.
Zinc was selected as an appropriate external material that complemented the red brick Edwardian house but remained subservient to the existing architecture.
The addition also improves the thermal performance of the adjacent façade and floor below.

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.
This Garden Cottage is a one-bedroomed annexe created from a former flat roofed garage.
