To avoid a modest but well-loved garden being overwhelmed with the presence of a much-needed new house extension, the additional accomodation was conceived more as a garden pavilion than a dwelling house. Timber and glass is used extensively internally and externally to create a loose arrangement of living, dining and kitchen spaces within a structure that sits lightly on the ground by a sequence of gently cantilevered floors and roofs. The new plan rearranges existing spaces and joins them seamlessly to new ones reorientating the centre of gravity of the house towards the garden.
