Townhouse garden room, Norwich

For this project we were asked to create an open-plan kitchen living and dining space to the rear of their double-fronted Victorian home, which has a steeply sloping garden.  

Both owners work from home, and they were were keen to somehow visually connect their upstairs offices with the garden and to create a place to take a break and have a coffee together too.

We used the steeply sloping site to our advantage by adding a green roof to strengthen the visual connection garden upstairs.  We’ve even put a little window in so you can enjoy the garden whilst relaxing in the bath.

An addition to the rear works hard to control solar gain in summer, yet will let the sun shine in during the winter months.  We have added arched window heads referencing existing features.

A clever use of double height spaces and skylights to bring light deeper into the plan of this double-fronted Victorian townhouse in Norwich City centre.
