LRY ARCHITECTS

This was our first home. We designed and built it which was an education in itself.

We faced the perennial problem of introducing sunlight and a sense of space into a dark and narrow terrace.

Only the front room of the original house remains wiith the new rooms built around an inner lightwell serving as vertical circulation and a rear, controllable glazed wall. A concrete slab with heating throughout the ground floor provides an ideal internal climate in summer and winter.
