This living space was created by removing the wall between the two existing ground floor rooms to form one large space. The existing chimney breasts in each room were removed and a new central fireplace for a wood burning stove installed

The open plan living room in this flat is light and bright, and the contemporary walnut sideboard sits happily next to the mid-century armchair & original Georgian fire surround. Plaster wall lights, a large table lamp and a multi bulb pendant provide layers of light when required.

Photography by Richard Chivers https://www.rchivers.co.uk/ Marshall House is an extension to a Grade II listed dwelling in the village of Twyford, near Winchester, Hampshire. The original house dates from the 17th Century, although it had been remodelled and extended during the late 18th Century. The clients contacted us to explore the potential to extend their home in order to suit their growing family and active lifestyle. Due to the constraints of living in a listed building, they were unsure as to what development possibilities were available. The brief was to replace an existing lean-to and 20th century conservatory with a new extension in a modern, contemporary approach. The design was developed in close consultation with the local authority as well as their historic environment department, in order to respect the existing property and work to achieve a positive planning outcome. Like many older buildings, the dwelling had been adjusted here and there, and updated at numerous points over time. The interior of the existing property has a charm and a character - in part down to the age of the property, various bits of work over time and the wear and tear of the collective history of its past occupants. These spaces are dark, dimly lit and cosy. They have low ceilings, small windows, little cubby holes and odd corners. Walls are not parallel or perpendicular, there are steps up and down and places where you must watch not to bang your head. The extension is accessed via a small link portion that provides a clear distinction between the old and new structures. The initial concept is centred on the idea of contrasts. The link aims to have the effect of walking through a portal into a seemingly different dwelling, that is modern, bright, light and airy with clean lines and white walls. However, complementary aspects are also incorporated, such as the strategic placement of windows and roof lights in order to cast light over walls and corners to create little nooks and private views. The overall form of the extension is informed by the awkward shape and uses of the site, resulting in the walls not being parallel in plan and splaying out at different irregular angles. Externally, timber larch cladding is used as the primary material. This is painted black with a heavy duty barn paint, that is both long lasting and cost effective. The black finish of the extension contrasts with the white painted brickwork at the rear and side of the original house. The external colour palette of both structures is in opposition to the reality of the interior spaces. Although timber cladding is a fairly standard, commonplace material, visual depth and distinction has been created through the articulation of the boards. The inclusion of timber fins changes the way shadows are cast across the external surface during the day. Whilst at night, these are illuminated by external lighting. A secondary entrance to the house is provided through a concealed door that is finished to match the profile of the cladding. This opens to a boot/utility room, from which a new shower room can be accessed, before proceeding to the new open plan living space and dining area.

The open plan living room in this flat is light and bright, and the contemporary tan leather sofa sits happily next to a black metal coffee table & original Georgian sash windows & panelling. Plaster wall lights, a large table lamp and a multi bulb pendant provide layers of light when required.

A long, narrow lounge / diner open plan to the kitchen which had been remodelled in the recent past. A bright orange glass splashback dictated the colour scheme. We removed a dated red brick fireplace with open fire and replaced it with an integrated cassette multi fuel burner. Bespoke display shelves and log storage was desinged and built. A bespoke chaise sofa and two accent chairs significantly improved capacity for seating. curtains with silver and copper metallic accents pulled the scheme together withouot detracting from the glorious open views.

Living close to the sea influenced Mrs W to choose a driftwood finish and Little Greene Paint Company's China Blue Pale gave the whole room a fresh, coastal feel. A small side table with sentimental value was rescued from the shed and given the same treatment to tie in with the scheme. Co-ordinating handmade cushions in shades of pale blue and sand tones soften the dark leather sofas and add to the calm and inviting feel of the new room. Photos by Felix Page

First windows being installed now since we had the staging already up there while doing roof edge flashing. I love this part. I hate looking at the windowless openings for too long. It's hard when you know how beautiful the black windows will look. So its about to look a lot better around here.

I love these windows on the side of the woodstove.

The summer porch was transformed into a an alcove that added permanent space to the living room to be used for media and books. A new window frame made in oak and stained to match the encased stained glass windows.
