In addition to the two new principle rooms
on the lower floor, the Adams+Collingwood
Architects team delivered a bespoke
solution for the attic. They replaced the
standard developer specification gang
nail trusses, which created spaces under
the eaves. Some of these were used for
storage, but the main addition was two
well-proportioned bedrooms, along with a
much-improved entrance staircase.
The resulting house offers a unique living
environment that balances large living
spaces with an appropriate number of
bedrooms. Internally, the design flows
beautifully between the new spaces and
the existing features. Not only that, but
the garden is integrated into the design
of the house to great effect. The terrace
provides a natural living space extension
during clement weather, while the flat lawn
area beyond it is of practical use as well as
enhancing the overall aesthetics.
The entire project demonstrates how much
living space it’s possible to add without huge
external extensions, all thanks to a carefully
thought out solution that respects the
original building while bringing a fresh vision
all of its own.
