Yew Tree House, Littleover, Derby

Yew Tree House comprised of an attractive existing Edwardian Villa that was subject to later piecemeal additions. These additions, with differing heights and window profiles, unharmonised the entire dwelling. Our brief was to extend the existing villa to provide generous family accommodation, but more importantly, make the new additions blend seamlessly with the original villa.

We suggested the extension was broken down into three blocks, each stepped back by the same dimension. We concentrated on making sure the roof; the eaves details and all profiles lined through with the existing. We matched the existing window details in the new extension. All these elements pulled together harmonised the entire dwelling.
