One of the main challenges of this project was marrying a very modern extension with lots of straight lines and glass to a 17th century listed property, which shall we say wasn’t so plumb and straight. A lot of consideration had to be given to not only  how to connect the two buildings together but achieving that connection a as seamlessly as possible. Another challenge was getting the detailing right, often with designs that are very minimal there is a risk that they can just look plain. We introduced a shadow gap detail at every junction between walls and floors and walls and glazing so we could maintain the clean crisp lines of the extension. Working with new materials and systems and integrating them into the structure of the building.
