This alteration and addition project in Ashburton, New Zealand has brought new life to an old home, while respecting its original forms and materiality.

The 58m² addition contains a secondary living room, guest bedroom with attached bathroom, and a “cosy reading nook” all with hydraulic under floor heating, R3.2 wall and R4.0 roof wool insulation, and thermally broken double glazed windows, creating a warm and comfortable internal environment.
