At Chatsworth Avenue, Cover Storey were commissioned to create an extension which would create real connectivity between inside and out. One of the principal challenges was the change in level.

The scheme solution was to design a series of interlinked planes which would descend gradually, drawing the home and garden together. A split level dining / party space created a direct link between the existing 1930s Highbury estate house. The extension was devised as a simple picture frame to capture the deck which would form the next plane, linking the extension to the garden. The result is a series of inside and outside rooms which terrace gradually from inside to outside, from old to new.
