Nelson Place, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

​

Discrete single storey extension in a conservation setting

​

This single-storey extension at Nelson Place was designed as a discreet, modern addition set back from the street to preserve the historic terrace’s character. Contemporary timber cladding contrasts with the original masonry, while a floating horizontal roof and wraparound clerestory windows bring in light and ensure privacy. Large sliding doors open to the south-west garden, and exposed ceiling joists add warmth and texture inside. Timber cladding continues to form a secure storage area, uniting practical needs with a visually harmonious design that respects both the site’s heritage and the needs of modern living.
