courtyard house, KINGSFORD

A garden room created breathing space and a link between a period home and its new extension.

This was a modest extension to a 1930s brick bungalow for a family of five. The idea was to create a courtyard between the existing house and the new extension.

After several concepts the courtyard performed a vital role injecting light into all the surrounding living spaces including the master bedroom. The Courtyard provided a focal point invigorated the interiors, extended the living spaces to the outside and allowing overflow for outdoor dining and parties.
