The project remodels a Victorian terraced home in Heworth to create a new music room overlooking the garden and an open plan kitchen-dining room.
The existing back extension has been partially demolished and rebuilt, its roof extended over a new room volume articulated internally with a vaulted ceiling, storage wall and picture window.
Externally the extension expresses the relationship between new and old with a material palette of brick, slate and treated oak.
Privacy, sociability and views were important aspects of the internal reorganisation, resulting in a coherent sequence of spaces prioritising access to external areas and visual connections to the garden.
Judges comments from the Awards evening
“The first project to receive an award is one that may be modest in scale, but has delivered big results for the family who live there. Formally dysfunctional spaces have been transformed into a well-flowing, sociable, practical and delightful part of the home. The judges were particularly impressed with the attention given to the small details that enhance the quality of the spaces and how they are used.”
