Set in the Surrey Green Belt, planning permission has been gained for a complete house remodel with a very contemporary front and rear extension.
Taking influences from the surrounding architecture, vegetation and area, the design looks to create an extended base with vertical timber cladding and an offset white rendered first floor front extension. The modern form leads a route from the new entrance around the house and terminates with a green grass roof at the rear. An open plan internal form with large amounts of natural light was key for the clients.
At first floor level a glazed apex sits under the rendered wrap. Timber louvres have been designed to act as external blinds – these elements can be opened in a combination of ways for control of privacy and light.
