Text description provided by the architects. This project was for the refurbishment, reconfiguration and extension of a late Victorian coach house that complements the architectural spirit of the building. The building was converted into a residential dwelling thirty years ago and had been untouched ever since. It still echoed its late Victorian origins and function with stable doors and a first floor fireplace for the coachmen which we re-instated and repaired. It was important to maximise the living space with an open-plan ground floor and combining domestic functions creating a practical family home. New floorspace was created by converting the garage while also annexing a dark and unused corner of the courtyard and bringing it into the home. This new garden room extension employs a light touch with the continuation of the external floor and wall finishes resulting in unity with the courtyard.
