COPPER BUTTERFLY
Effingham | Surrey 

Extending an architect designed home from the early 90s, the existing property is a characterful 100% timber framed home set in the local greenbelt. Charged with unlocking further opportunities within the ground floor plan with a new extension, this copper clad intervention riffs off the steeply pitched host property and inverts the roof structure. The butterfly roof structure is cloaked in copper combining batten capped and flat lock joints.

Internally, the extension combines a new cloaks area with glazed elements overlooking the front garden and magnificent willow tree. A further living space is provided for home working, whilst on the other side of the property, a master suite is established with far reaching views to the landscape beyond the end of the property, again clad in a copper skin.
