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.
Existing Maid’s rooms were refurbished with new, larger windows added, creating a modern feel and flooding the rooms with natural light. The existing plan was opened up to give more generous living areas and comfortable circulation to the large Edinburgh home.
The surrounding garden was also smoothed into a split level; lawn / paving aiding the house’s engagement with the garden.
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.
