This old two storey artisan house near Portobello was limited for space. Although the original house retained it's historic features, it had a poorly built single storey kitchen and bathroom extension which was poorly lit and provided no outdoor space.

​

The design called for a new L-shaped extension to fill the small rear garden. The extension is two storey along the side boundary and single storey along the rear boundary wall. The leftover space provides a small courtyard which gets great sunlight throughout the day and floods the new extension with natural light.

​

On the ground floor the new galley kitchen is located along the side boundary with a dining room along the rear wall which is lit from above by a large opaque glass roof light. The 1st floor return contains a new spacious full bathroom with bath and separate shower, all naturally lit with a large opaque glass window and rooflight.
