House Extension by Studio KAP, Glasgow, Scotland
12 Broomhill Place - Extension, Broomhill, Glasgow
Architects: studio KAP
Client: Diane Hutchison and Andrew Dawson

The project involved the remodelling of a 1920's semi located in Broomhill,
a northerly suburb of Glasgow. The main aim was the creation of a
new kitchen and dining room orientated towards a rather secret and
well-loved walled garden facing south and west bringing the social
dimension of both house and garden closer together.
A very basic timber box is given a surprising twist by the incorporation
of two contrasting and cantilevered bays, one on the entrance side
and one at the garden side.
The bay on the entrance side consists of a curved cedar shingle-clad
wall giving the small entry courtyard architectural presence and hinting
at the position of a discreet back door. Internally this
forms an entrance lobby and the beginning of a careful spatial sequence
which culminates in the private garden.

The bay on the garden side is a blue-rendered box, trimmed with cedar
floating between ground and clerestory glass forming a solid and colourful
counterpoint to the large sliding glass screens. Internally, this
bay creates a beech-lined seating niche closing the sequence of spaces
beginning at the main entrance to the existing house and delaying
the final view of the garden till arrival in the new space of the
extension.
