The original ground floor was about two meters above the garden and there was a large undercroft space, which was used as storage area. The initial idea was to lower the undercroft and give the house a whole new floor. This new floor is at a level much better suited for access to the garden and so the connection of house and garden is far more enjoyable. To take full advantage of this we opened up a large double height space, removing a section of the original ground floor and opened this tall space to the garden with a huge frameless glass box.
