该项目是对位于Bury St Edmunds保护区域内的一个二级保护建筑的地面层进行翻新和扩建。该扩建项目具有强烈的现代感，使用了简单的橡木、砖和无框玻璃调色板，并采用了优雅的斜屋顶布置，与原房屋相呼应。布里协会评论说，该项目 “展示了精心设计的当代扩建项目如何能够补充现有的老建筑”。
This project is the refurbishment and extension at ground floor level of a Grade II listed cottage within a conservation area in Bury St Edmunds. The extension is resolutely contemporary, using a simple palette of oak, brick and frameless glazing in an elegant pitched roof arrangement which is sympathetic to the original house. The Bury Society commented that the project “shows how a well-designed contemporary extension can complement an existing older building”.
房子的底层被广泛地重新规划，房子前面的房间被轻轻地翻修。在计划的后面，一个新的8米长的坡屋顶单层扩展创造了一个开放式的厨房/餐厅，可以直接进入并看到花园。房间里有4个屋顶灯，自然光线充沛，并采用了橡木地板，使视觉清晰，突出了扩建的形式。室内地板和花园之间的水平变化被利用起来，与花园创造了一种不同寻常的亲密关系。
The ground floor of the house was extensively re-planned, with the rooms at the front of the house lightly refurbished. To the rear of the plan a new 8-metre long pitched roof single storey extension creates an open plan kitchen/diner with direct access and views onto the garden. The room is flooded with natural light by 4 roof lights and incorporates an oak floor, which gives visual clarity to accentuate the form of the extension. The shift in levels between the interior floor level and the garden has been harnessed to create an unusual and intimate relationship with the garden.
一扇由英国橡木制成的梯形门，通向由三个砖砌台阶组成的浅层花园。大的、无框的、角形玻璃窗的窗框高度与外面的地面持平，在内部和外部之间创造了一个无缝的视觉连续性。主生活空间采用了有限的材料（天然板岩、大量的铅、英国橡木、石灰渲染、软红砖），厨房和浴室展示了如何通过精心组装低成本的实用材料（白色瓷砖、软木地板和白色福美来板），在有限的预算下实现高品质的装修。
A trapezoidal door made of kiln dried tongue and groove English oak leads to a shallow flight of three brick steps up to garden level. The seat-height cill of the large, frameless, corner-glazed window is level with the ground outside, creating a seamless visual continuity between inside and out. As with the main living space, which employs a limited palette of materials (natural slate, lots of lead, english oak, lime render, soft red bricks), the kitchen and bathrooms demonstrate how a high quality finish can be achieved with a limited budget through the careful assembly of low cost utilitarian materials (white tiles, cork floor, and white formica faced ply).
