The Segal House

Built

Taran Wilkhu

We worked with a family who were looking to extend their home whilst fully embracing the tectonic and practical approach of the ‘Segal Method’ with a careful approach to refurbishment and enlargement.

The design looks to create a negative imprint of the building by inverting the panelled colour cladding. Profiled metal sheets form a rain screen cladding, with electric blue window apertures contrasting to the black extension. A wildflower roof caps off the building within its green setting. A dynamic staircase sits within the building, providing a studio, den, storage and reading space. The extension to the living spaces is a wedge that although narrow (1.2m wide in parts) significantly enhances the quality of the existing house.
