This remodelled bungalow on a hill overlooking Cardigan Bay comprises a two storey steel-framed extension with cantilevered roof and balcony and completely glazed west façade. Designed to eliminate any down-standing beams in the ground floor ceiling or visible supporting columns, the structure re-uses the existing trusses from the demolished portion of the original roof as girders to support the new 1st floor walls and roof. A steel portal frame with columns contained on the ground floor by the external wall sheathing, provides racking stability and is clad in zinc where it emerges through the 1st floor balcony. The first floor spans 6.6m across a new opening in the original external wall and most ground floor partition walls were demolished and the floor re-built with a steel frame providing an open plan living/ kitchen/ dining area of approximately 90m2. Materials, locally sourced Western Red Cedar, galvanized steel, pre-patinated zinc, and anodised aluminium, were chosen for durability and minimal maintenance in the coastal environment .
