The existing Percy street residence is a ‘turn of the century’ double-fronted cottage. The aim of the design was to maintain the current character by using the roof form as the basis for the extension.

At ground level, the cottage is brought back to its original form, by removing the small extension to the east. The east-west axis is maintained through the interior, strengthening the ‘corridor’, which is common to this style of home. A link is created between the old and the new, through the use of glazing and negatives to both the north and the south]. These negatives were also a key consideration in cross-ventilating the new extension.
