This Brick Home Gets New Living Spaces And Natural Light From A Modern Extension

The architects removed the existing conservatory of this home and added a new rear extension with an integrated strip of glass, that separates the original building from the contemporary extension.

North London architects XUL Architecture have sent us photos of their latest project, where they were tasked with renovating this three-story family home to completely enlarge the rear of the house while still allowing for plenty of natural light.

The architects removed the existing conservatory and added a new rear extension with an integrated strip of glass that separated the original building from the contemporary extension. This had the added benefit of allowing natural light to flow into the main living areas while also providing a clear visual separation between the old and new.
