Cliddesden Road

The new proposed courtyard maintains light into all primary and secondary spaces of the new open plan family space, whilst maintaining an element of privacy to the street.

The main driver was to open up the existing kitchen to the rest of the house by creating a new ‘lightweight’ pavilion to the front of the property. The addition of a courtyard maximises light in the space and creates multiple views out whilst maintaining much needed privacy from the street.

A contemporary addition in juxtaposition to the existing property. The external material palette was careful crafted with minimalism in mind. The brickwork has been matched to the existing house, whilst an exposed concrete frame pays homage to window and door lintels on the existing victorian property.

External View - 01: Street View from the Main Street.

External View 02 - The brickwork corner conceals the utility room addition to the property.

Pre cast concrete panels are used to denote the individual aspects of the project. A Japanese inspired courtyard, central to the design ensures the existing dining room maintains high levels of natural daylight whilst increasing the connection between the existing kitchen and the external landscape.
