London studio Westerdahl has renovated a house in Cambridge, reorganising an existing extension and cladding it in green zinc panels that blend in with the surrounding planting.

Westerdahl was tasked with better connecting the home, named Folded House, to its large garden after it had been blocked by utility spaces in its extension.

The studio reorganised the home's utility areas into a strip along one edge of the site, freeing up room for social spaces that overlook the garden.

Inside, the former extension now contains a living, dining and kitchen area that looks outside through large bifold doors. Alongside it, a matching side extension containing a larder has been added.

"The core concept was a minimal intervention to increase living and entertaining space and to better connect it to the lovely mature garden outside," founder Viktor Westerdahl told Dezeen.

"This reorganisation created a new, direct view from the entrance hallway out towards the garden through generous double patio doors," he added.
