EXTENSIONS

Adam Mornement

Extensions can be added to roofs, gardens, and underneath buildings, or can even be strapped on to the sides. Devoted solely to this practice, Extensions features 40 projects that extend spaces up, down, to the rear, to the side, on the roof, internally, and outdoors. Each case study explains how the architects faced design challenges while at the same time meeting their clients' needs. Details covered include choice of materials, planning issues, time, and cost. The book also raises issues that clients ought to consider when commissioning an architect to design an extension, as well as practical advice for anyone thinking about extending their own property.
