NOT TWO STOREY BUT THE WINDOWS ARE INSPIRATIONAL AND DIRECT ACCESS TO THE LAWN WAS A WISHED FOR IDEA.
THE BOOKS FOR ALL THE FAMILY NEEDED PLENTY OF SHELVING. THE SOLUTION:
An other room was needed: the addition of a 'real' family room, more storage and space for the much needed book shelves. The house was old enough that the kitchen was falling apart: doors and drawer fronts falling off, the plywood shelving dilapidated and appliances decrepit. The solution was to add on to the north straight out into the garden as this made the additional roofing easier to build. By focusing the kitchen to the opposite direction, to face the new family room the view to the garden was assured. The study included storage cupboards, shelving and benches with large windows for great natural light ideal for WFH, kids school work, sewing, reading or any number of other activities. AN ESTABLISHED TREE CAME INTO ITS OWN BY SHADING THE GARDEN AND THE STUDY CORNER WINDOWS IN SUMMER WHILE ALLOWING THE SUN THROUGH BARE BRANCHES IN WINTER.
