Modern Extension to a Rural Property, North Yorkshire

Residential

A sensitive yet bold reinvention of a Victorian stone villa. A single-storey rear extension in charred timber cladding creates a deliberate counterpoint to the original sandstone façade — dark against light, new against old. Full-height glazing and folding doors open the extended living space entirely to the garden, while a crisp stone terrace and lush planted borders mediate between architecture and landscape. Heritage preserved, contemporary life enabled. A quiet confidence in the dialogue between past and present.
