GRAS completed a contemporary extension and refurbishment of a family home in Corstorphine. The ground floor was extensively reconfigured and extended to create a spacious kitchen, family room, and dining area, featuring large slim-profile sliding doors opening onto the garden. The first-floor extension adds an additional bedroom and is designed as a simple sculptural form clad in tiles that match the existing roof.
