Elmfield Road consists of alterations to the ground floor of a terraced house with improved circulation connections to the garden. Materials and finishes include, a combination of faced plywoods, stone surfaces and bespoke integrated furniture providing a simple yet graphically vibrant space. The new fully glazed roof allows morning light to flood in, helped by the rounded soffit which widens the aperture. Blackened larch cladding was added externally to homogenise the rear facade, the curved soffit replicated with a simple swoosh that expresses the inner workings of the new addition.
