PROJECT BRIEF:

Create a full width single storey rear extension, opening up into the rear of the cottage to create a kitchen/diner/lounge area. To be in keeping with the original cottage

DESIGN RESTRICTIONS

A full width extension would not allow a standard pitched roof (1st floor windows would be covered) Client required as much natural light as possible and therefore roof-lights were considered, however, local planning restrictions being in an area of natural outstanding beauty and village location, would not allow roof-lights if visible.

By making  a ‘triple’ pitched roof we were able to span the width of the new extension without compromising the rear 1st floor windows of the main house,  accommodate roof-lights unseen externally, and design an open oak beam structure internally.
