Project Description
The brief was to provide our retired Clients with a contemporary multipurpose living space that could be used all year round and would connect their Victorian terraced property with its garden. Our Clients also wanted to form a small studio space at the end of the garden separate from the property. Our solution was to form a frameless glazed living/dining space with a slim tapered profile, stress skin panel, pitched roof. This appears to float above the clerestory glazing and structural glass fins.
The garden room and the studio form a new symmetry with their entrances being directly opposite each other. Landscaping is kept to a minimum to emphasise this. The garden room is lightweight in appearance whilst the studio, by contrast, is clad in Scottish larch giving it a much more solid aesthetic.
