Located along the leafy ridgeline of Brighton & Hove on the South Coast, this extensive home extension and refurbishment transforms a traditional property into a calm, contemporary family residence defined by light, material texture, and crafted simplicity.

The design reimagines the existing house from the inside out — extending the basement, ground, and garden levels to create a series of refined spaces that balance openness and intimacy.

On the ground floor, the house opens dramatically toward the garden. A large open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space is framed by floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, dissolving the boundary between interior and terrace. The architecture focuses on flow — sightlines draw the eye through the space and out to the landscape, creating a continuous experience from kitchen to garden.
