Located in Galveston within the East Putney Conservation Area, this project is typical of the regular commissions that Snell David enjoy undertaking. When the owners bought the house, it was largely unaltered and very inward-looking, leaving the interior dark and disconnected from the sizeable rear garden. The project presented an opportunity to improve views, daylight and the sense of space, allowing the garden and its relationship with the house to be fully appreciated.​

​

By judicious demolition of original rear additions it was possible to limit the extent of structural alteration. It was however possible to create a generous full-width single storey extension forming a bright and light Kitchen / Dining / Dayroom space suited to modern family living. Large sliding doors allow the family rooms to spill outside and for daylight to penetrate interior spaces.
