TRINITY GARDEN ROOM EXTENSION, EDINBURGH
The owners of this Victorian villa in the Trinity conservation area wanted a glazed extension which was in complete contrast to the darker, cosier living room used mainly in winter. They wanted to make more use of the southerly aspect from their kitchen and have a good connection between the new garden room and the existing patio area to the south west. The new room can be read as a completely distinct object, with the existing wall left un-plastered. The existing doors were widened to give a better connection to the garden. As the master bedroom overlooks the roof, it has been finished in sedum. The deeper roof build up required meant the use of a relatively new ultra thin type of insulation. The structure has been kept back from the corners meaning that the large sliding doors can move away entirely leaving a completely open connection to the patio and garden.
