Westbourne Villas

Side and rear extension, Brighton

This is project follows on from our work at Rugby Road in Brighton, published this year by the RIBA in their book ‘Transforming homes, work with an Architect’. The brief asked for an extension that transformed our Clients house and our wrap around extension serves to do this. The use of glass and the daylight and views this provides has been key to the design. A vertical glass panel runs into a rooflight with a frameless glass detail. A further rooflight set in a green sedum roof will help flood the interior with light. In the design of this project we have worked closely with the glazing company Maxlight with whom we have worked on a number of other projects where high quality glazing and elegant detailing is important. The project was granted planning permission and will start on site early in 2023.
