UK-based Dan Brill Architects designed a contemporary extension to this lovely Edwardian house on the outskirts of Winchester. I love the way the new structure stands in contrast to the original home, making a clear distinction between the old and new.
What makes this home extension so unique is the fact that it�s constructed from chalk excavated on site. What is considered an ancient building technology, offers an economical and sustainable design solution by using the free supply of a primary bulk building material and at the same time minimizing waste. Further more, the use of rammed chalk also offers thermal mass and a unique texture resembling white concrete.
The project is completed with a long terraced courtyard and an entrance pergola, offering charming views of rural countryside to the south.
