At lower ground level the enlarged kitchen / dining room is continued seamlessly out into the paved garden. At the same level a new extension accommodates a steam room with a frameless corner window which intimately connects inside with outside. The battered slate walls and sloping stainless steel ceiling further reduce the sense of conventional enclosure (and save you from being dripped on by condensing steam).
At the top of the house a studio in the roof is left deliberately unadorned with revealed structure and rough timber boarding (to floor and ceiling) simply painted white. The large steel windows afford long views across the gardens and rooftops.
Materials throughout are straightforward and colours natural and muted. Minimal modern elements are unashamedly mixed with period decorative features to create a house that is in sympathy with its past and well suited to comfortable contemporary living.
