Located at the rear of the house, the extension comprises an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, with the living portion opening out towards the garden. The first floor of the extension comprises two bedrooms and a bathroom.
Eckersley and his time derived inspiration from the existing Victorian facade, with the original brick repurposed and reused within a new extension. The design aim was to maximise natural light and space by gaining greater connection to the outdoors.
The Maddie extension is a successful example of how heritage and contemporary design can be successfully combined to create a beautiful and functional home. The extension respects the heritage of the existing house, while also providing the residents with a modern and comfortable living space.
