Extension and refurbishment of a large family house in Bramhall on the outskirts of Manchester. The clients wished to transform the relationship of the house to the garden without substantially altering the existing layout which the family are emotionally attached having grown up in it.
A new brick facade extends the south-facing rear of the house by 2.5 metres to create large glazed openings connecting interiors to the garden. A new west wing mirrors the existing swimming pool wing and accommodates a 'garden room' - a social space with bar, fireplace and direct access onto a terrace for summer parties. The swimming pool wing is dilapidated and is reclad in the same brick to create a unified facade across the entire width of the house. The pool is reduced in size to save energy and the interior refurbished.
