A replacement single storey, rear extension to facilitate a larger, more social kitchen, an independent boot room, and improved circulation to the beautifully established garden. Our design aimed to augment the building's unique character and provide a bold, but economical addition using black industrial corrugated cladding and black facing bricks for a tactile finish.
