William Morris
A contemporary single-story residential rear extension combining crisp white render, zinc cladding, and expansive glazing to link interior living spaces with a paved garden terrace.
- What we like about this project
- The contrasting upper roof geometry angles upward dynamically while sitting comfortably below the traditional eaves line of the main house.

- Geometry
- Single-story rear extension featuring interlocking rectilinear and asymmetric angled roof volumes that step down from the main house.
- Facade system
- Rendered masonry base with upper zinc-clad parapet and framed aluminum glazing units.
- Structural guess
- Steel portal frame or timber frame supporting lightweight mono-pitch and flat roof assemblies.
- Spatial scale
- Domestic human scale; single-story volume interfacing with a paved patio and garden terrace.
- Lighting
- Bright diffused daylight under an overcast sky casting soft shadows across the terrace and garden beds.
- Atmosphere
- Clean, calm, and bright domestic environment blending crisp architectural lines with natural garden greenery.
- Environmental context
- Suburban back garden setting with neighboring terraced housing visible in the background and established perimeter planting.
- Spatial experience
- The extension creates a clear indoor-outdoor connection, pulling natural light deep into the open-plan kitchen and dining spaces through large glazed openings.
- Composition rhythm
- Asymmetrical roof geometry balanced by the rhythmic vertical panels of the upper cladding and floor-to-ceiling door frames.
