Clay House Exterior with a Tiled Roof Ideas and Designs

This image captures the rear view of a modern double-storey rear extension, featuring a pitched roof with two skylights for increased natural lighting. The bi-fold doors provide seamless access to the outdoor area, making the extension perfect for open-plan living and entertaining. The upper level of the extension includes new bedrooms and additional living space, blending traditional brickwork with modern features. The ongoing construction highlights the transformation from a smaller two-bedroom home to a spacious, contemporary family residence.

The owners of this stunning family home in Dulwich appointed K & D Joinery to manufacture the exterior joinery during its major refurbishment. New Accoya windows fully finished in black and factory fitted with leaded feature double glazed units provided an impressive front elevation. To the rear of the property we supplied and installed bi-folding doors to the kitchen and two sets of traditional French doors providing access from garden to living room. The new window design, colour and leaded double glaze units have given this property a contemporary feel, incorporating friction stays and enhanced security options.

La maison est une longère située sur la commune de Tilly, au lieu dit "le moulin à vent", aux confins de la Normandie. C’est une maison de campagne située à une heure de Paris, dont la rénovation a consisté à isoler et rendre habitable une partie des combles avec la création de fenêtres de toit, pour créer deux chambres d’enfants et un cabinet de toilette, et à réaménager l’ensemble de la maison. Les matériaux naturels et rustiques ont été privilégiés : sols en terre cuite pour les pièces de séjour, le parquet massif pour les chambres, murs enduits, contreplaqué marine, mosaïques mates et plans de béton brut.

Simple yet admirable front elevation and garden area. The sandy tones of the render and feature wall contrast well with the dark roof tiles making this a standout on the street

The existing house was built primarily from cob, a natural building material common in the south west of England, made from a mix of clay, sand, natural fibres and water. Renovating a cob house requires special consideration. This house had a cement render, a very hard and impermeable material that would have caused damage to the cob, the removal of this needed to be very carefully carried out, in a manner that did not create further damage. Any repairs to this cob are carried out by stitching in new cob, and a breathable, insulated lime render is then re-applied to the wall. Croft coordinated the detail and specification of this work with local specialists to ensure that the work would be carried out in the best manner.
