Medstead, Hampshire — Reconnecting House and Garden

A contemporary rear extension to a detached village-edge home in Medstead, designed to reshape everyday family life around a stronger connection to the garden. The brief centred on creating generous new living spaces for a household with teenage children, where shared areas, privacy, and informal family movement could coexist naturally. The design responds to a sloping rear site and prioritises long, uninterrupted views across the garden from the heart of the home.

• New living spaces designed to strengthen the relationship between house and garden

• Careful resolution of sloping rear site levels to maintain usable, connected internal space

• Elevated window strategy to maximise garden sightlines from the kitchen and main living areas

• Seamless integration of the original kitchen, repositioned within a wider sequence of connected living spaces
