Two side extension pods to this single storey elongated bungalow resolve the short comings of a south facing rear elevation and two storey neighbouring development. The extrusion emulates the form of a chimney and mirrors the existing period roof pitch to bring high level light into the depths of the interior through a 10m long feature skylight. A skylight and an interior window creates a light-filled uplifting bathroom space. The interior is animated throughout the day by the interplay of shadows and reflections against the dining room wall. The space has a sense of calm, being connected to the outdoors both visually and physically.
