The Coach House – A Contemporary Curved Extension
Situated in a highly desirable woodland location, Light House Studio were engaged to design a curved ground floor extension project in Berkshire. Light House Studio worked in collaboration with the clients to help realise their aspirations for the project, preparing a scheme for a dynamic contemporary addition that addresses its wonderful woodland setting to create a dramatic space for open-plan family living.
The curved extension was developed in direct response to the unusual spacing between two existing buildings. The curved structure allows for maximisation of the space’s potential. It provides a dramatic focal point to the house whilst also unveiling extensive and framed views of the garden and adjacent woodland area.
The project comprises an open-plan kitchen, living and dining space to provide an enlarged and much better connected space, between the main house and the existing annexe. The proposed extension will provide panoramic views of an extensive garden and maximise light and indoor / outdoor connections. Key features include a curved glazed unit, sliding doors, a feature fire, stand-alone breakfast bar and enlarged flat roof lights. Externally, render has been chosen to create a seamlessly and modern aesthetic and link with the existing house. A stunning and dramatic extension has been created which elevates the house and provides a seamless flowing space.
Client Testimonial
We selected Light House Studio as the architect to advise on our ideas for an extension after having had a number of underwhelming discussions with other architects. They immediately grasped our hazy ideas for a kitchen extension and was able to get an outline design down on paper to facilitate a very productive iterative process. We have now arrived at a contemporary design that we are very happy with, but were unable to envisage at the outset … I would not hesitate to recommend Light House Studio to anyone not wanting a “bog-standard” addition to their existing property.
We are proud to feature and promote this stunning project in our architecture magazine, showcasing exceptional design and seamless integration with nature.
