CLAREMONT

A small ensuite was to be added to a generous Edwardian californian bungalow. Not wanting to add a contrasting box to the side of their house, the clients chose, instead, to match materials and style. We designed a small addition that uses the same terracotta roof tiles, and painted brick. To avoid a miniature cookie cutter version of the existing house, we used a pitched roof but scaled it in such a way the the pitch matches the original in all elevations. It blends in to the Federation roof, yet has an individual more modern form of its own.
