The proposals sought to stitch the homes to their gardens with more open and expansive plan forms, whilst maintaining the cosy domestic quality of the properties that had first attracted their respective owners.

From front sitting room, through family kitchen, to garden seating to garden greenery, a continuity of space is maintained which only strengthens the sense of nestled domestic living. In amongst the major zones, small moments, such as a projected window bay, are stolen from the overarching spatial organisation.

The modest character of the building's upper floors is preserved, and a sense of generosity achieved by lofting the space and bringing in light from above.

In a similar way to the interiors the gardens are conceived as a series of interlinked outdoor rooms each with their own distinct character of inhabitation.
