Small House Exterior with Three Floors and a Metal Roof Ideas and Designs

This project was developed in strong collaboration with the homes’ stylish owner, Sally Small, who engaged us to design a split-level home extension that could push the limits in terms of permissible built form controls and capitalise on every inch of available floor space. The alterations and additions have been designed to be both sympathetic to the owners’ strong interior aesthetic and the compact nature of the site, which was constrained by a 7.5 metre street frontage. Builder: Reliant Constructions. Interiors & Joinery Design: Sally Small, home owner.

Richard Gooding Photography This townhouse sits within Chichester's city walls and conservation area. Its is a semi detached 5 storey home, previously converted from office space back to a home with a poor quality extension. We designed a new extension with zinc cladding which reduces the existing footprint but created a more useable and beautiful living / dining space. Using the full width of the property establishes a true relationship with the outdoor space. A top to toe refurbishment rediscovers this home's identity; the original cornicing has been restored and wood bannister French polished. A structural glass roof in the kitchen allows natural light to flood the basement and skylights introduces more natural light to the loft space.

Nearing completion, the street elevation has reused many of the original bricks. Grey metal roofing matches the finish of the new doors and windows, contrasting with the rustic texture of the reclaimed, hand made bricks. Where render was used over the woodfibre cladding boards, flexible and vapour permeable, through coloured Baumit render was specified.
