description:
rear extension and internal remodelling of an existing house, Wilmslow

A new side and rear extension providing a generous living room, improved amenity and better connectivity with the garden. The proposal has a limited material palette aimed at creating a balanced language between house, extension and landscape. Cantilevered above the garden on a platform constructed of gabion walls, the contemporary addition acts as a lightweight architectural form and a strong landscape feature naturally balancing the difference in levels. The design is purposely modern but takes its language from the existing house aiming to add a well-considered and well-designed layer to the already diverse vernacular of the Hawthorn Lane Conservation Area.
