Mixed materials

Neil Dusheiko Architects are behind the design for this wrapped timber box-style extension. Siberian larch cladding was affixed to double battens on panel vent boards within an oak lattice, creating a clear delineation between new and original structures. The decision to use wood, as opposed to brick or structural glass, was rooted in the homeowner’s desire for the development to reflect its surroundings, close to Epping Forest. A new timber staircase links the existing house to the new space.
