The challenge for this project, was to create a new main entrance and a rear extension, including the circulation to the upper floors, to a house comprising of two buildings, located in a Conservation Area. The local planning authority were looking for an exciting solution sympathetic with the traditional architecture of the existing buildings. The client was dreaming of a contemporary extension.
After discussions and several study models, we proposed to create a new fully glazed double height Hall, allowing views to the beautiful gardens located at the back of the house. The glazed hall has a glazed pitched roof and includes a grand staircase, designed as a sculptural element.
The Client comments on completion: ‘Without any doubt [Sophie] was the right person to add a contemporary feel to an extension of our Victorian country estate house.
The local conservation department were also delighted (…).
We love the result. The proportions and careful use of modern and traditional materials have linked the two styles perfectly. I have already recommended Sophie to others and would use her services again’.
