private client, lancashire - arts and crafts detached house with new extension - design concept and layouts.

the owners of this property wanted to increase the footprint on the ground floor by adding a sympathetic single-story extension to the rear. the brief was to firstly work alongside the architect to ensure a functional and well-balanced layout and then help the client visualise the space by producing some 3d images. the next step was to create a concept for the space that allowed the clients more modern style, work inharmony with the period features of the property. to do this i applied the thoughts of the arts and crafts movement - simplicity, nature, craftsmanship and natural materials but with a modern twist.
