The main aim of the project was to create a sense of unity between the back garden and the house, allowing nature to play a significant part in the daily activities of the family. The site of the project is a Victorian house located in a conservation area. Originally, the presence of the back garden in the house was minimal. The back garden was excavated and the basement floor extended into it, to accommodate a new lounge. The stone floor of the garden extends into the lounge, and forms its low wall. The furniture in the lounge was also designed as an extension of the garden. Timber shading for the ceiling of the lounge brings in natural light moderately. The climber plants on the walls of the garden will, when grown, surround the extension. Originally, the basement floor consisted solely of a kitchen and a dining room. As part of the project we also designed a new terrace, facing the back garden, on the floor above, and made several changes to the layout of the upper floors according to the client’s needs.
