Honiton Terrace, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

​

Rear extension to a double fronted Victorian Terrace

​

Dinah and Nigel were looking for characterful kitchen/dining/sewing room extension to enhance their already quirky Victorian terrace.

 

The proposal infilled an existing rear courtyard, beside what was, a tiny oblong kitchen. More generous natural light was brought to the site by lowering the south facing boundary and demolishing rear outbuildings.

​

The new two storey area of extension draws on the scale and form of the previously demolished mono-pitched extension that was on the site. It is linked to the existing duo-pitch loft space by a glazed single storey. This area of flat roof drops light down through a new roof light to the new internalised utility room and doubles up as a balcony overlooking the garden. The timber framed loft space was renovated retaining the rhythm to the neighbouring properties loft spaces.
