The brick materiality of the original Edwardian home was thoughtfully incorporated into the new design extensions, paying homage to the period-style aesthetic in a  contemporary way.
Throughout the design of the new extension, the modern interpretation of the angular gabled roof pays homage to the various peaks across the silhouette of the heritage dwelling.
