A physical model was made to test massing options and the relationships between the site, rear extension and new garden studio.

The developed extension wraps the existing side elevation to form a new entrance to the house, bringing you into a lobby at the centre of the house.

The massing steps back at the garden elevation to form a terrace accessed off the dining room.

This stepping back is mirrored in the garden studio, providing a quiet terrace at the end of the garden.
