Zac Monro Architects

The Grove

We remain grateful to the clients for agreeing to spend the money needed to 'do the right thing' to this rear extension. An exercise in inside/outside spaces and natural lighting, the result is a lovely clean white simple structure which acts as the perfect backdrop for their use of it as a cooking photo-shoot location.

The combination of a full-length skylight dropping top-light along the long edge of the building, the cantilevered corner window opening up to the main garden view and an inside corner of sliding/folding doors which open to reveal a post-less inside edge bringing the outside in and the inside out, all come together to make the think hum. They're very happy with the result, as are we.
