Linked Terraces

Linked Terraces sensitively adapts a single-storey semi-detached house by retaining the original front—preserving memories and embodied carbon—while adding a new three-storey rear extension to accommodate a family’s growing needs. Guided by the concept of connecting: between past and present, family members, and indoors and outdoors, the design centres on a staggered three-storey void that draws light and breezes deep inside while linking gathering spaces. Planted terraces filter daylight, diffuse natural scents, and appear like a garden cascading downwards. Passive design features allow the home to achieve net-zero standards.
