01

The brief

The bungalow’s front rooms were kept as bedrooms and a study. The new rear wing holds the kitchen, dining and living, lined in pale timber so it feels warm year-round and sits comfortably behind the original house.

The key decision

  1. i.

    One material, used generously

    Timber on walls, joinery and ceiling keeps the long room calm. Colour comes from textiles and art that can change over time.
