Worcestershireglass extension

o

nce unloved and dated, a complete interior

renovation scheme by Cream and Black,

alongside a 6m-high glazed extension,

designed by glazing specialists Trombe, has

transformed this semi-detached, post-war house in

Malvern, Worcestershire, into a contemporary and

charming home for modern living.

Large swathes of glazing frame the views and

bathe the space in natural light. Although largely

open plan, the design scheme zones areas with

architectural features, such as the three-sided

fireplace and the statement kitchen island which

provides a pop of colour in the otherwise largely

monochrome palette.

conservation
Roof Maker’s latest collection,
Conservation Luxlite, has
been designed to replicate the
charm and character of heritage
windows in traditional buildings
with listed buildings and barn
conversions specifically in mind.
The aluminium slim-shaped
split bar reduces the presence
of a cold bridge, minimising
the risk of condensation and
improving thermal performance in
comparison to traditional cast iron
versions. (www.roof-maker.co.uk)
