By keeping the eaves low at 2.5m and forming a shallow pitched roof the design takes on a single volumetric form that allows for high ceilings whilst minimising the visual impact and overshadowing to the garden and neighbouring property. A contemporary approach to details and materials has been employed with light timber cladding treated and a dark grey zinc roof that compliments and yet is distinct from the existing stone building.

Dark framed sliding doors and frameless glazing give an unobstructed connection with the garden.
