Clever & compact

A 12m2 extension by Manyu Architects has transformed this Victorian terraced house. The property had suffered from introverted rooms and a lack of connection to the garden. The £66,000 project has created an openplan living-kitchen-dining space that flows through new and original areas. At the far end of the extension, a wide bathroom window provides ample daylight through a stable-style door that can be half opened.
