House in Newnham, Cambridge

Client – Private
Date of Completion – 2006

The extension and alteration of traditional Victorian terraced houses is a common challenge for home-owners in Cambridge.  A key requirement for this relatively modest project was the adoption of an environmentally-friendly approach. The project included the rear extension of the property, combined with minor internal alterations to provide a re-ordered kitchen and dining area, and a new ground floor lavatory (with level-access shower), first floor bathroom, and rear bedroom alterations. 

It is hoped the project demonstrates that intelligent decisions taken early on in the design process are not only able to integrate environmentally-friendly measures, but provide the basis for a strong design with an efficient, affordable, and ultimately more comfortable living environment.
