In order to make a lovely cottage in Portobello work well for the family with two teenagers, we extended from the kitchen into a new garden room, that connects to the outside. The brief was to maximise the feeling of space, with a high sculpted ceiling and clerestory light, whilst not occupying too much of the existing garden. The Lane elevation was important, as part of the conservation area, to work with existing urban knit, whilst demonstrating a new space.
Chambers McMillan will be attending the Private View for the Architecture open at the RSA this Friday. Our film (filmed by Bee and Greta) of the Route Through the Ramp House Features in the exhibition.
