Two Storey Extension in Grafton Street, Cambridge

The Property is located in a Victorian terrace in a Conservation Area in the historic core of Cambridge and in close proximity to Fitzroy/Burleigh Street and Grafton Centre. The new Extension makes a better use of the small site and provides additional living space to the main house. It designed in two integrated parts: ground floor flat roof extension provides spacious kitchen/dining area and first floor pitched roof extension is a new bedroom. The lower part of the West roof of the first floor Extension is glazed and the upper part is angled away from the neighbough to avoid overshadowing their first floor window. The glazing goes round on to the south face of the gable end wall to providean additional light into the ground floor kitchen/dining area through the void in kitchen ceiling, creating a feature on the rear elevation of the existing house.
