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.

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.
