Glassop Street

Here at Glassop Street we faced the challenge of providing a lovely Federation cottage with a new contemporary living space. The room was to engage the house with the rear garden and also maximise direct sunlight from its existing southerly orientation.

Full height glazing and a corner opening provide a seamless transition from house to garden. A clerestory window to 3 sides allows for direct sunlight penetration throughout the year and a 4 metre high ceiling amplifies the sense of space and connection with the Garden and daylight.

The owners have been bold and determined in their collaboration with the design and selection of materials. Some well crafted joinery and playfull colours have given an emphatic lift to the extension which has dramatically changed the nature of this house.
