This detached three-storey Edwardian residence is located in one of Solihull’s conservation areas. The single storey extension was designed to infill the space to the rear of the existing garage and strengthen the connection with the kitchen, whilst creating a modern family room. The structure is predominantly rendered, with large aluminium sliding doors opening onto the garden, and framed roof lights over the kitchen.

The scale, proportion and materials proposed are sympathetic to the house but, with particular reference to the main part of the extension, they are clearly, and deliberately a high quality modern addition to the property.
