A dazzlingly contemporary extension wrapped in a traditional exteriorChoosing brickwork that matches the original so closely makes this extension, designed by FC Architects, almost invisible from the outside. The pitched roof and choice not to extend the full side return also nod to the earlier life of the building. It all makes the large, light-loving patio doors less of a feature in their own right as they, too, blend in more easily with such a backdrop.
Seen from the inside, however, the extension feels positively futuristic and minimal – giving the owners the best of both worlds. Huge expanses of glass forming much of the ceiling area, as well as an almost seamlessly connected window at the end of the shorter part of the extension, seen here, give the space a lovely link to the garden – making that the feature, rather than the inspired yet non-visually intrusive architecture.
