PROJECT OF THE MONTH
MATTHEW SMITH
This striking rear extension in Cambridge has given a family home extra space to accommodate for their busy lifestyle. Butcher Bayley Architects have created a bold form with bespoke copper cladding, inspired by other local buildings’ roofs and facade coverings of the same material. The mid-terrace house sits in a conservation area, so extensive planning was required. They’ve created an extension with a unique shape to contrast and complement the classic Victorian home. The cool green copper cladding against warm, timber framed fenestration makes for a distinctive feature.
