The mission was to refurbish and revitalise a mid-century family home; inside and out, root and branch, room and view. We explored and emancipated its hidden spaces, turning a basement and garage into lively new living areas. We connected the house to the outside world, creating outdoor rooms to a redesigned landscape garden and onward views to a beautiful park.

Highlights:

• Photovoltaic solar electricity generation on south facing roof.

• Photovoltaic solar electricity generation on

• New high-efficiency boiler.

• Reclaimed kitchen, fully refurbished.

• Clay walls and ceiling for increased breathability without heat loss.
