The project

A 1968 house reworked for Mike and Jeanette, to drawings by Mark Hall of MSH Architects. The old garage became a guest wing.

The design called for complex joinery and steelwork, and the existing house turned up conditions nobody had anticipated. The architect and the clients tell it in the films below.
