A single storey rear extension to a characterful 1950's detached house in Pinner, London.  Key design elements include internally exposed homegrown Norway Spruce rafters and handmade bricks sourced from the local Reading clay beds. The bricks are moulded and fired at HG Matthews brickworks - 20 miles from the site.

The project is focused on a strong sustainable agenda, with a conscious effort to reduce the overall embodied carbon of the building.  This involves a scrutiny of the source and transportation of materials, and ensuring UK or EU made components where possible, including bricks, sanitaryware, tiles, kitchen manufacture, glazing systems and timber work.
