Project 2
Two storey extension to a rear, semi-detached dwelling
in Wickford.
The brief for this project was to create
an open plan kitchen/dining area
and to maintain as much natural light from the north
facing garden.
On the first level, a larger kids bedroom is required.
With semi-detached houses, there are
usually issues with affecting the amenities
of neighbouring properties. In this case, to overcome
the issue and cause as
minimal detriment to the neighbouring property, the
first floor level was
stepped in, allowing a 45° line of sight from the
adjoining properties first floor
window.
To achieve more natural light, the lean-too, vaulted
roof was glazed producing
a naturally bright and large open plan feel to the
kitchen/dining room. |
