A room outdoors
Right: Not everyone has the gift
of a generous garden so what
do you do when faced with a
tiny plot and a desire to connect
it with the outside? This small
Yellow Cloud Studio extension
makes the most of the space and
uses materials (like the exposed
brick) to create the illusion of an
extended inside/outside room.Colour inspiration
Below: This 1930s house has
been transformed with the
addition of a light-filled kitchen/
diner extension. The connection to
the sky via the sky lantern and the
garden is carried into the earthy
colour scheme in the kitchen
(designed by Martin Moore).Blurring boundaries
Right: Careful sequencing of
internal and external spaces in
this home creates a series of
seamless transitions. Designed by
Yellow Cloud Studio, the covered
integral seating, wrapped in light
larch cladding, is cut from the
main living spaces, playing with
the home’s boundaries.
