Viewbank

The deck off the living room, the sliding doors folded back into the kitchen

The clients in Viewbank were in need of more living space for their growing family. A simple extension into the back garden and a reconfiguration of the existing house gives them the desired outcome. The layout creates a strong connection between inside and outside with a general sense of spaciousness and its own distinct identity from the front of house.
