The original 1970s house is constructed of a reclaimed London yellow brick, non-typical of the area. It was also extended with brick and timber cladding to create a gable end. The brief was to create a contemporary contextual project. The design proposal is clear, return the original brick house to its original brick form, re-clad  the extension and create a clear entrance link between the two. This breaks down the existing blocky form of the roof into a more modern and elegant one, which respects the existing structure and reclaims the form of the original pre-extended house. The proposal creates a more contemporary home, which reflects the local vernacular and materials, bringing architectural clarity to the scheme.
