Other Projects by Jeff Kahane + Associates
Glass Extension, North Yorkshire
Type
This project evolved from our clients’ desire to replace a semi-derelict conservatory with the most minimal new structure possible, to preserve and enhance the elegance of the rear elevation of their Grade II listed Georgian house, an approach shared by the council’s very constructive conservation officer.
The conservatory, seated on a battered stone plinth and guarded by a glass balustrade, is designed so that 73% of its sides can be folded open on warm days. Glass specialists Trombe, working with us, developed a new 180-degree hinge to achieve this.
A slender portal frame is braced back to the rear of the building by two beams holding eight adjustable spotlights that solve the perennial problem of how to illuminate a fully-glazed space. Beams and frame are clad in mirror-polished stainless steel that in sunlight further helps ‘de-materialise’ the room.
The adjacent chaotic and dangerous terraces were re-configured into a new landscape of York stone, on which to sunbathe and take in the spectacular views over the valley of the Swale, the fastest flowing river in England.
