This mid-century terraced house is located in the quiet suburban area of Corstorphine, Edinburgh. A previous front extension had resulted in a long narrow kitchen, separated from the living room and the back garden. The fragmented layout meant that the family were often in separate rooms: cooking, doing homework, watching TV.

This is a story not only about the project but also about the time in which it was created and how it affected the building. It sometimes happens that what is built somehow differs from the original design. This is not necessarily a bad thing. This is normal and happens in a complex construction process, which is affected by many external factors.

One of major design requests the client required was a home with lots of natural light. Achievable on the exterior façade, we also wanted to light the center portion of the house. A linear split (continuous linear skylight) was introduced down the buildings length to allow for natural light to seep into the center of the house.

When the owners purchased this 50's ranch home outside of Philadelphia, it bore most of the original elements. The home had nearly 3,500sf of single level living space, but the rooms were closed off from each other and had low 8' ceilings throughout.
