Quarter Glass House

Built

Stale Eriksen

A sequence of stepped levels has been created to define kitchen, dining, terrace and lawn in a ‘controlled descent’ from house to garden, adding height, light and volume.

Featured in Don't Move, Improve! 2021

This extension reunites the existing raised kitchen space with the property’s garden 1.2m below.

Four distinct ‘quarter glass’ windows are shaped in response to the site-generated geometry of the new extension, much like a car’s quarter glass windows respond to its angular form. Materially, an exposed timber roof structure creates warmth in the ceiling, complemented by calming tones of copper, Microcement and painted cabinets.
