First Floor Rear Extension to Shop


This project involved an existing large retail outlet popular with residents of Cardiff. A project brief developed together with the client's needs identified the kind of additional floor space that was required, which resulted in a proposed first floor retail extension to be built above existing retail facilities and a smaller ground floor extension also at the rear. The proposed design of the first floor extension is a timber framed metal clad external skin with a flat roof. A straightforward approach that provided adequate space, robustness and comfort, achieving an end product that was compact and easily accessible with user friendly spatial relationship with the rest of shop.
