The ground floor is opened between front and rear rooms, forming a continuous plan. A sliding partition allows separation when required.
The extension occupies the side return, formed in board-marked concrete and read as a structural insertion.
Roof glazing runs along its length, bringing light into the depth of the plan.
The kitchen is set on a raised level, establishing a separation from the dining space below.
A cantilevered planter projects from the structure at the garden edge.
The former cellar is reconfigured as utility space, avoiding further excavation.
Material contrast is direct — concrete structure, minimal glazing, and timber elements within.
