Black Box Extension/ Remote Architectural Design Studio
Previously dark and disconnected, the space now flows effortlessly between indoors and outdoors.
Clad in vertically laid charred larch, the extension embraces the traditional Japanese shou sugi ban technique, ensuring durability while harmonizing with the natural surroundings. The dark timber contrasts beautifully with the greenery, allowing the extension to feel both modern and grounded.
This thoughtful intervention by RSDS Architects reimagines the home’s layout, replacing small, poorly lit spaces with an expansive, inviting living environment. The result is a sophisticated yet understated addition that has fundamentally improved the way the family interacts with their home and garden.
