architecture + design

We were thrilled when the planning approval for the remodelling and extension of this family home in Barnton, Edinburgh arrived this week.  Contemporary zinc and timber dormers, along with a first floor extension to the rear, will provide additional bedrooms, freeing up the ground floor to become a generous open plan kitchen / living space. The carefully considered design maintains the character of the house from the road, while creating internal spaces more suited to modern family life. The energy efficiency of the house will also be improved through the incorporation of additional insulation, and an air source heat pump will provide an eco-friendly heating system.
