The key to this design was to create an extension that replicated the architectural language of the existing building, thereby relating it to its context.

The project is a two-storey side extension with a new outbuilding to match. The proposal uses black metal cladding, often seen on traditional agricultural barn buildings, to minimise the extension’s impact from afar.
