Canterbury

The pool and spa, timber deck along one side, battened screens above the palings and the rendered wall to the right

This existing house extension and pool in Canterbury is a modern addition and renovation to an original Victorian cottage. The front of house with existing features was retained and reconfigured to connect with the extension. A modern yet sympathetic single storey extension was added, connecting to a long linear deck and pool.
