An addition to an existing Arts and Crafts residence. The extension is connected to the original house with a glazed link that includes a separate entrance. Containing a bedroom, ensuite, walk in robe and tea station with a bar fridge. The extension can function as stand-alone accommodation with a separate entrance or as a parent’s retreat.
The timber and render cladding echoes the materials used in the existing residence. The timber lined interior is well suited to the beach environment. An operable external timber shutter allows the light and privacy to be modulated depending on the season, time of day, or activity within the house.
Careful consideration of view lines, solar orientation, and ventilation creates a highly functional and thermally well-performing extension on an unusual triangular shaped site at the rear of the property.
