This project extends an authentic 1950’s split-level, architect designed house by creating an addition that complements rather competes – that echoes rather than mimics – the existing design. It is conceived as a metal clad, folded butterfly roof that floats above an iroko-clad ‘box’ containing a large living space, with wonderful views across a small valley and this in turn, sits above a masonry base containing a double bedroom and en-suite bathroom. A specially commissioned rug by our collaborator, Helen Yardley completes the composition.
