Knowle House Extension
Knowle House is set on a beautiful sloped site in Cranham, between Stroud and Gloucester. A glass extension provides a new living and dining space attached to the Grade-II Listed property.
The extension has large contemporary glazed doors which slide back to connect the living space to the garden patio. A green roof finishes the flat roof and a projecting cantilevered canopy provides shading to control solar gain. Rainwater is captured firstly in the green roof, which then passes playfully down a ‘rain chain’ into the flower bed.
A narrow slot rooflight fills the extension with natural daylight, washing across the original Cotswold stone wall, now incorporated within the extension to provide a feature wall.
