Extensions & renovations

Traditional meets modern at The Den

The Den presented a unique challenge: a beautiful townhouse that lacked a cohesive space for the family to gather. Our solution was to design a striking two-story extension that doesn’t complete with the traditional architecture. By staggering the extension’s form and incorporating a large linear rooflight, we allowed natural light to flood the interior, creating a bright, welcoming environment. The new landscaping design enhances the indoor-outdoor connection.

Key Architectural Features

  • Light-filled, spacious interiors thanks to the addition of a linear rooflight.
  • A balance of modern materials and design that complements the original structure.
