Birdhurst is a family home in South East London that required an extension for entertaining space. The house also features a large garden which was poorly connected to the interior spaces.

WMOR Architects completely redesigned the ground floor to include a flexible kitchen, living area to open into the garden. Accoya was chosen as the ideal material for the extension because of its aesthetic appearance as well as its ability to provide better insulation than other materials. Plus, the owners wanted to use the most sustainable material they could.

The Accoya extension which houses the show piece kitchen will be left to weather naturally and match the pale grey flooring.  This was specifically designed so that in the summer when the sliding door completely opens, the interior and exterior space will merge seamlessly.
