Modelling the seasonal sun path around the site throughout the course of a day allowed us to develop a light and airy volume by creating two opposing roof forms that captured the morning and evening light respectively.  This formed an open-plan family space comprised of living, dining and kitchen areas that were subtly planned to respond to the various views to the garden and qualities of light.

Large folding-sliding doors opened up the space to a south-facing, landscaped terrace that benefits from the sun throughout most of the day.  A restrained, external material palette of white render and timber cladding was selected to allow the expressive form of the extension to be clearly read.
