Tidcombe

The project consists of a contemporary glazed rear extension and full internal reconfiguration of a 1960s bungalow in Tiverton, Devon. The new apex roof creates generous double-height spaces within the bungalow, framing panoramic views across the surrounding landscape.

For the extension to sit comfortably within its setting, it was necessary to overcome a three-metre level change between the house and garden. This was achieved by positioning the extension on a new garden wall with stepped planters below. As the planting matures and grows up the walls, it will gradually soften the relationship between the building and the landscape.

The project also involved upgrading the existing building fabric with additional insulation and incorporating renewable technologies, including solar panels and a large-capacity battery, improving the home's overall energy performance.
