Georgian town house extension designed by Henning Stummel Architect Limited. "Fenestration was to be in 'keeping'. Our response was to avoid conventional windows. Sanded Perspex boards blend seamlessly into the ship lapped surface and give the impression of a homogenously clad box. This impression is re enforced by using playful camouflage. Each board is painted in a shade of grey, to further conceal the location of 'windows'.".
