This small building infills a leftover triangle of space at the intersection of two streets.

 

The form of the new building capitalizes upon the unusual shape of the site with a vaulted roof that diminishes in height as the space narrows. The roof structure is left open to view internally.

​

Towards the courtyard one corner is chamfered, creating a more useable internal space and sculpting the external form to avoid a single flat façade feeling overbearing. A glassy gable opens the relationship between the new building, courtyard and main house and allows the new roof structure to be viewed from outside.

​

Facing the streets the material palette relates to the surroundings of red brick, natural slate and cobbles.​​
