Above left: The bright yellow front door sets the colour accent for the rest of the house Above right: Oak stairs, made from the old oak worktops in the kitchen of the original bungalow, lead up to the bedrooms on the top floor entering by an industrial-style gate, which gives no clue to what lies behind. Then there are quite narrow steps down the side of the house, until you come to the acid yellow (remember that detail…) ‘front’ door, about halfway along. If you continue down the steps you walk past the footprint of the original bungalow and onto the side wall of the new extension, where a rill of water starts to run next to you, until you come out in the paved and planted front garden. Here the stream pours into a small, square pond and on through an underground pipe into a much bigger one, both rich with aquatic plants. But by that point it’s hard to take your eyes off the spectacular view. So no wonder, as Paul says, that was the focus of the whole remodelling scheme. “The view was the big thing, so we opened the house up to make the most of it. We built on top of the original house – which was a 90 sqm bungalow with cramped rooms – and made it three times bigger. Because it is in a conservation area, we had to keep the original roofline, so we built the kitchen on as a ground-level extension, which didn’t alter it.” On my first visit to the house, I entered from this side – the back, where the original entrance was, via the sliding glass door in the wall of windows, straight into the kitchen – but for the formal tour, I chose to start at the yellow front door. It opens onto a striking staircase, with oak treads between a plywood wall and bannister, but the first thing you notice is the full-height sliding door, to the back of the house, which is covered in gold leaf. Then you start to take in the sense of space, with the ceiling above you following the upwards trajectory of the staircase, at a parallel angle. Overhead to your left is the straight back line of a supporting RSJ – the bones of the house – and then the lofty space continues into an area with a wall of iconic Vitsoe shelving, priceless-magazines.com 66
