Rear extension in London stock brick with black-framed bi-fold doors, glowing at dusk
Rear Extension · 2021

Warriner

A rear extension that gives a period London property one generous garden room, built in matching stock brick with black-framed bi-folds opening onto the walled courtyard.

The extension is built to belong to its host building, in London stock brick under a dark roofline, with slim black-framed bi-fold doors set into the brickwork.

Inside it is one social room. The kitchen runs along the party wall, the dining table sits in the light from the doors, and a sitting area with built-in alcove shelving anchors the quiet end. Rooflights keep the deep plan bright.

The best hour is dusk, when the lit interior shows through the glazing and the room reads as a lantern at the end of the garden.
