Cladding is added to Timber Frame extension.
The project is really starting to take shape as the timber cladding starts to be applied to a contemporary timber framed extension in East Lothian.
Progress has been fast in the first few weeks on site with this timber frame extension which will double the footprint of the original gatehouse. Designed to be as passively energy efficient as possible, this project is an exciting one to watch.
The garden room extension element of the ground floor extension and refurbishment of this family home is completed. The stone-clad exterior and timber framed windows sit comfortably with the existing house while maintaining the sleek language of a modern extension.

A sliding, folding window is installed permitting panoramic views across Edinburgh from a modern third floor extension and refurbishment. The window is pushed beyond the building envelope allowing spectacular 180° views over the surrounding rooftops.
A contemporary, light extension to a small original cottage creates comfortable, airy living spaces with spectacular views out to the hills. A wind turbine is sat distanced from the house and solar panels have installed on the south facing roof.
(This project was recently completed and featured in this month’s Grand Designs Magazine)
The house has doubled in size but you could quite easily miss the amount of work that has taken place. Following an extensive refurbishment and extension by Helen Lucas Architects an extra storey has been added to the house as well as a brick porch and a large extension to the rear of the property overlooking the garden.
The clients at Leamington Terrace decided to leave the Iroko Cladding to their garden room extension untreated. Three years on the timber has weathered naturally to a beautiful silver colour.
