The client here requested a family space that made the most of the north-westerly orientation.

Large frameless roof lights let the sun in as it climbs over the house during the day. By placing the roof lights along the new rear wall, the sun comes in as early as possible. This location also creates a large expanse of white wall that reflects the sunlight back into the space.

An open plan kitchen with an extended Corian island, segregates the space into kitchen, dining and sitting, while creating a sociable island seating area. A continuation of the kitchen presses houses a utility cupboard and boiler.

Externally light grey windows and doors match the new membrane roof, gutter and drainpipes.
