A Californian bungalow with a timber-lined rear wing
- Property
- Californian bungalow, c. 1925, with a new rear addition
- Scope
- Interiors for a new rear living wing
- Duration
- 9 months
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
- 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.
