Inside, the architects removed a wall to connect the old and new spaces, while the kitchen was relocated to the opposite side, which was once a reception room. The floor was also lowered to create one seamless room level with the garden.

The extension itself has a fully glazed roof to bring the most amount of light into the space, including electrically opening roof lights for ventilation.

To avoid the dining room being overlooked by the neighbors’ upper windows, the architects designed a series of louvres made of oak to line the underside of the roof.
