Ely Architects Ltd were commissioned to design a single storey extension to a rural property close to Morpeth in Northumberland. The brief evolved to prioritise the extensive views to the south of the property, towards open fields and farmland, whilst maintaining a sense of privacy and enclosure to the rear garden. The contemporary design was developed to provide a contrast to the existing style of the property and to provide maximum daylight and a link to the external spaces at the rear of the property.
A detached Victorian villa with adjoining derelict coach-house and original rear Georgian offshoot was purchased by the client looking to develop and split the property into two individual dwellings. The demolition of the coach house allowed for the new building of a mews-style garage and entrance level, with a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living area above, concealed from view by an existing, stone garden wall. A reconfigured stairwell connects the various levels; the lower entrance / garage, the original Georgian rooms now serving as bedrooms, the rear garden and the new modern living spaces.
