Modern Additions in not so Modern Homes - Yanko Design

The Grafton Crescent project replaced an existing dilapidated small lean-to rear extension with a new drinking glass extension at ground flooring level and new timber and drinking glass pod addition accessed off the existing stair's half-landing. The lower level accommodates a new kitchen/ dining expanse to relocate the tiny original kitchen that was set within the ground floor living room. The room above could exist used as an additional bedroom or communal living infinite.

The main reason why Grafton Crescent was of involvement to me is the use of new modern compages to expand from a much older cookie-cutter like house. Most people in metropolitan areas live in homes just light this – congenital to meet the demands of city growth and expansion. If 1 were to stay true to that compages for unit of measurement expansion – you'd just get more "dull brick work." I dear the juxtaposition; this huge square box jutting out from the rear with giant drinking glass windows. Imagine how it would expect lit upwards at night – well-nigh similar a lightbox. I'm admittedly in Dear with the full size folding glass doors that open the lower level kitchen to the garden creating a unified space. What a cute way to bring the outside in.
