Small Exterior Design Ideas with a Flat Roof and a Shed Roof

Caroline Berloquin

A modern house in Ealing built using traditional construction methods.Materials are sustainable and natural. All hardwood joinery is bespoke. OSMA oils are used to protect it. Rather than using chemicals the timber fence was charred in order to preserve it. Scaffold boards are used for boundary treatment.

A two-stage development on a premium Lake Macquarie address. We got involved early with ELK Architects, working through costs as the design evolved so nothing surprised anyone at DA. Fifteen months later, it was delivered on programme and named a Finalist at the MBA NSW Awards. ★ MBA Finalist — Master Builders Association NSW, $2.5M–$3.5M New Dwellings

Rehabilitación integral de una vivienda entre medianeras en la c/ Alagret 14 del barrio Benimaclet, Valencia

Vor dem Anbau mit Lärchenholzfassade ist ein echter Lieblingsplatz entstanden.

Working on a constrained site with large feature trees to be retained, we developed a design that replaced an existing garage and shed to provide our clients with a new garage and glazed link to a multipurpose study/guest bedroom. The project also included a garden room, utility, and shower room, replacing an existing inefficient conservatory. Working with Hellis Solutions Ltd as tree consultants, we designed the structure around the trees with mini pile foundations being used to avoid damaging the roots. High levels of insulation and efficient triple-glazed windows with a new underfloor heating system in the extension, provide a very comfortable internal environment. Externally, the extension is clad with Larch boarding and has a part Zinc, part sedum roof with the natural materials enhancing this garden setting.

Gartenhaus an der Tabaksmühle

Inspired by the slopes and angles of the existing home’s gabled roof and those of the Victorian homes in the area, the design team created a faceted, angular facade of vertical battens for the new extension.

This rear extension was clad in black timber, adding a striking modern addition that contrasts against the period property, whilst complimenting the neighbouring black slate roofs and existing rhythm of openings.
