Preston House - extension to post-war brick veneer house
Working to a very tight budget, this modest extension was designed to be as cost effective as possible, while still offering a high level of consideration for refinement of design. Essentially the design is a single volume box added to the rear of an existing brick veneer house, however effort was made to distinguish the old from the new and provide a spatially interesting, light filled room. Principles of passive solar design were incorporated to minimise heating and cooling loads, and low environmental impact materials were used throughout.
This is how we would like ours to join our house
