The glass wall of the addition reflects the stone fence at the end of the lot and the shrubbery. The roof is used as a balcony and the second floor window is converted into a door.
The glass fence blends in with the facade. Fireplaces played an important role in the house. They have been used to heat homes and even used to cook food, especially tea.
So the chimneys are an essential element of the Romanesque style and were left by the designers in their original form, only slightly updated.
To smooth the transition, the plinth under the new part of the house is lined with the same stone as everything in the estate. On the right you can see the steps and the fence with the turrets adorning it.
Evenly trimmed shrubs stand out with rich greenery against the gray background. All this is reflected by the mirrored surface of the transparent facade.
Rough wooden table smooths out the novelty of the extension, making the interior match the garden outside the window. Yew trees grow slowly, and the age of half a thousand years for them is not old age. In the corner stands a metal-framed chair with natural wood legs by design couple Ray and Charles Eames.
The author’s furniture underlines with its lightness the novelty of the interior and blends in with the classic style of rustic English dwelling.
In the stone wall, a black metal door without decorations marks the transition from one time to another. A ceiling light fixture with a light-colored plafond hangs over an island of the same tone.
The exterior walls are completely clear glass, since winters in England are cold. The swing door opening is flanked by square columns of metal framing.
The frames, supports, and plastic seats of the chairs are black. Outside a fall site with bare trees and pots for plants prepared for winter.
The outdoor tea place has already been cleaned up. Only a light folding table is left. The vegetable garden also rests, darkening the flat surface of the soil.
