CONCEPT DESIGN: The Living Wedge

We have recently completed an exciting concept design for a Victorian Villa in Sutton Coldfield. The project involves a contemporary ground floor extension which replaces the existing kitchen, utility and outhouses. The new extension will slide in underneath the retained first floor.

Concept diagrams showing how a new wedge of living space (Red) will connect the existing snug with the garden cutting through a block of functional space. The wedge shape helps to funnel light back into the existing house and maximise views out.

The proposed plan shows how the living space forms a wedge cutting through the functional spaces with kitchen / utility to the one side and a large storage wall to the other.
