FULWOOD RESIDENCE, SHEFFIELD

Set within the sought-after Fulwood residential suburb of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, this substantial extension and basement project further enhances this beautiful large-scale home. The generous plot allows for a considerable subterranean development to be introduced underneath the rear garden providing cinema and family games room complete with table-tennis and foosball tables along with kitchenette facilities for entertaining guests.

At ground floor a single-storey flat-roofed extension is introduced providing open and flexible living for the client. A purist interior matches the delivery of the exterior detailing which sees the usual domestic ‘trimming’ (rainwater pipes, gutters etc) removed - or at least hidden - to create a clean-lined form made up of minimal components. Large-scale panoramic sliding doors open one behind the other to provide unrestricted views across the garden, whilst a generous portion of brick wall anchors the doors in place. A linear glazed skylight raised on continuing brickwork introduces a strip of natural light into the entertainment space below.
