Meadow Road Extension, Where Old Meets New

With a design developed by Studio Bark, using the U-Build system, we helped to create this project come to life for the client. The total renovation at Meadow Road began with the very practical objectives of remodelling the house to better suit a young family, and upgrading the environmental performance of the existing building. The house hadn’t been touched in years and was drafty, cold and damp.

However the shared vision of both architect and client has created a home that doesn’t just meet these practical aims, but celebrates the best of features old and new, sensitively creating a new design language for the home.
