A flat forming part of a B-Listed villa in a Newington, Edinburgh, has been extended to provide modern new kitchen, living and shower room accommodation.
What is unusual is that the flat is ground level at the front and first floor level at the rear - and so the extension had to be entered via an existing first floor window, dropping down to garden level within a glass and stainless steel tower. The extensive glazing was required to satisfy Planning Authorities, who did not want any part of the building to be visible from the street.
The structure of the main extension is hidden behind an old stone garden wall, and is of timber frame construction, with smooth render finishes. The stair tower is clad in stainless steel. As well as the glass box overhead, it also has a glass floor which spans over the shower area below.
This project came runner-up in the Edinburgh Architectural Association Awards, Small Project Category 2009.
Completed 2008.
