Frenchay Road: Internal View
   

This is the view through the existing house - which is now transparent from front to back and neighbours have been known to peer through to witness the transformation. The plasterwork is a natural off white with a beeswax finish - another technique gleaned from North Africa and applied carefully by Rae Browne.

The light is reflected off the light surfaces and tiles and into the existing house - which remains light and open.  The kitchen (by David Apthorp) is tucked away to one side and pieced together from a batch of maple floorboards kindly donated by the contractor - Pearson Homes.
