Tactile extension, Cambridge
This central Cambridge project enlarges a semi-detached Victorian house through the use of tactile materials and generous daylighting to provide a ground floor extension and new loft bedroom. A heat pump will replace the gas boiler, supported by extensive insulation to create a low-energy home.
The rear extension is designed to provide privacy amongst the gardens, outbuildings and rear-facing windows of the terrace while mitigating summer sun angles to reduce overheating. In its use of stone and brick it also references the Victorian architecture prevalent in the area.
