Before
A
side extension over an existing garage that increased the
sleeping accommodation on the first floor. The extension
was designed to fit seamlessly with the existing house on
the front elevation whilst on the rear elevation a dormer
window is introduced. Due to the existing garage being
deeper than the footprint of the existing house, and the
requirement to keep to the ridge line and pitch of the
existing roof, the new accommodation at 1st floor level is
actually down a few steps. By making this small and yet
clever design move Munro Associates were able to maximise
the space within this area for the clients whilst sticking
to the requirements of the planning authority with regards
to matching the existing building.
