Space age addition to Victorian cottage

From the front this is just another terraced brick cottage but at the back an innovative, glass extension has been created to house a new kitchen. The design meant that no pipes could be viewed internally or externally. The glass roof is suspended above the glass walls by steel poles.

A particularly good working relationship developed between client, builder, architect and planners to produce a great team effort.

What the customer said:

"With an architectural vision for an extension which needed innovative techniques and materials, there was real potential for significant difficulties. Particularly impressive was the ability to offer a variety of solutions as problems arose."
Anthony Mawby.

What the Master Builder of the Year judges said:

"The builder was highly praised by the clients not least for keeping them regularly kept informed of developments and the architects took a special interest in the project which helped to produce such a successful result."
