An arched window offers views and transmits borrowed light into the living room of the original house.

DKA’s brick and glass-block designs are covered with green grids, a reference to the work of James Stirling.

The "tentlike" living room has a south-facing wall of glass doors that can open completely to the garden and views beyond. Photo © Will Pryce
