The home originates from 1934 and was comparatively untouched. The aim was to make it much more vitality environment friendly and fairly a bit bigger. The previous home did have lots of character and particulars we wished to maintain. With the brand new extension we wished to merge a totally totally different type and environment with this 1930’s ambiance; the safe and heat environment of the previous half mixed with the open and clear really feel of a contemporary house.

Trying from the yard you’ll be able to’t actually see the basic entrance of the home. But from the road you’ll be able to hardly see the trendy extension within the again. And but on the within the two merge simply.
We prolonged the home with a 5 meter deep extension over all 3 flooring. We used 3 totally different supplies on this design; burned wooden, glass and tough stones. The burned wooden on the facade is an previous Japanese method referred to as ‘Shou Sugi Ban’ to guard the wooden with a skinny charred layer. Not like paint this doesn’t need to be redone each from time to time. All black photo voltaic panels are put in fully flush with the charred wood slats

Updating the previous a part of the home to fashionable requirements required the mandatory energy-saving measures. Along with cavity insulation, the present facades got high-quality insulation on the within. This needed to be achieved on the within to protect the previous Nineteen Thirties character of the home. Even the present stairs have been moved so as to have the ability to proceed the insulation in opposition to the facade.
As well as, the present roof on the previous a part of the home has additionally been changed by insulated sandwich panels and all the floor ground has additionally been changed by a brand new insulated ground. We wished to maintain the previous stained glass, however positioned this in double glazing. For the brand new giant glass entrance within the rear we opted for triple glazing.
