The brief for the proposed extension was born out of the Clients’ desire to achieve a truly contemporary slice of polished architecture sandwiched between the two more traditional forms of the existing dwelling.
With a taste for the contemporary, the extension is intended to be an addition to the Clients’ collection of eclectic art and design; a contemporary form clad in more traditional materials, encompassing slate, glass and timber, responding both to the Clients taste as well as the local village vernacular.
The lightweight glass box element at first floor appears to float over the existing courtyard, a sleek, minimal façade fashioned out of Reglit glass, providing a seamless finish.
