Compact Extension to West End Conservation Area House

Extension to a family home, West End, Glasgow Designed to maximise the available space on a narrow, constrained plot. The extension is designed to be adaptable as either a self-contained flat, or linked to the main house. The priority was to give the main rooms the best light and space possible. This was done by creating a compact shower room which slots underneath the stairs, minimising the circulation space. The open stairs allow light to trickle down from above while the large picture windows provide garden views. Executive Architects: John Gilbert Architects
