Description
Summary:The book is organized into four sections that reflect the main areas for expansion and contain case studies that explore projects in detail. Above presents attic and loft conversions, showing how to work within rooflines, sightlines, and idiosyncratic spaces. Behind looks at back extensions and conservatories, and suggests how to improve links to the garden, bring the outdoors in, or add new architectural statements. Beside examines side extensions, considering smaller, transitional spaces that improve the flow of older or vertical floor layouts, or admit more light into a dark house. Below looks at basements and subterranean levels, revealing how to make the best of restricted space and limited natural light. Over 300 color illustrations.
