Project: Valleyfield Road 2.

Description: The project comprises the extension of an existing kitchen to the rear of the property, providing a combined kitchen and dining space overlooking the generous rear garden. The new accommodation is linked to an existing rear extension containing a refurbished lounge space. The extension of the kitchen, with the addition of the small dining area, provides a more appropriately scaled family room which is better related to the garden through large glazed sliding doors. New side windows introduce dynamic natural light from unexpected orientations. The extension takes the form of a simple, single storey structure infilling the space between the side of the existing extension, and the original side wall of the property. The non-rectilinear geometry of the extension reflects the trapezoidal site plan, and creates a visual focus towards the garden. Generous roof lights in both the new and existing extensions provide an abundance of natural light, as well as views of the treetops nearby.

Status: Complete.
