Newbury House, Newbury

Fine, traditional architecture and the best of contemporary design come together at the core of this scheme to upgrade and extend this house.

Without straying too far from the original style, a new single-storey extension employs traditional materials in vernacular brick and sandstone. By increasing the ground floor footprint, the internal layout has been simplified to create an open-plan living arrangement while the introduction of an internal courtyard invites natural light to flood through the space.

Frameless doors, glazed roofing and a glass balustrade are a modern and complimentary addition in a home that is fit for the future while reminiscent of the past.
