Bungalow TryptichReaching for the trees in Cheshire

A clever rear extension to a standard 1940s suburban bungalow transforms the home into an intriguing, light-filled space that opens generously to the landscape. 

The addition creates three new rooms, each orientated to a

different direction: east to the morning sunlight, south to the garden, and west to the nightly sunset. The three pitched volumes extend from the existing bungalow, creating the impression of three disconnected buildings; inside, however, the volumes unfold as a single connected space.

Large windows filter daylight deep into the interior and capture views of the mature garden trees. The expanded home feels open and lofty while retaining a critical sense of cosiness and domesticity.
