Forest View: CASE STUDY A tired 1950’s home was transformed into a luxury state of the art residence via rear additions to the ground, first and second floors plus sweeping internal modifications. At Clear Architects we love taking an existing property, adding space and light, and altering the existing spaces to create a seamless flow. 14 - www.refurbandrestore.co.uk The complex rear extension created a garden room and wine cellar to the ground floor and a master bedroom and additional bedroom to the first floor, truly transforming the aesthetic and function of our client’s home. The symmetry of the design is highly innovative, whilst appearing simple and chic. Clear Architects The client wanted a seamless transition between living and garden areas, so a cantilevered structure with sliding corner doors was the answer. We included two light boxes in the roof to flood the room with natural light, even on the most overcast of days. The kitchen is separated from the living room extension by steps to provide visual flow and keep the two rooms door-free, increasing connectivity.
