Cowan Road Edinburgh
By using brick with toned down colours and by not using a roof light the extension is kept low maintenance. Instead a slot window to the south sneaks light into the dining room without distracting from the view or dominating the space. The window in the living room is replaced with doors that open to the patio linking it to the dining room. The patio features a neat L shaped bench and simply steps down to the grass. Cowan Road takes a modest form that doesn’t attempt to do too much so that each space remains welcoming.
