Glass doors are set into arched frames resembling a colonnade in this extension to a Victorian-era house in Birmingham, England, which Intervention Architecture designed for a choir singer.

Two sets of glazed bi-folding doors are placed along the rear wall, where they open onto the garden.
From the outside, these doorways are segmented by seven black aluminium arches indented into the brickwork. This detail is intended as a twist on ornamentation used in the Victorian era.

White-painted walls and oak flooring complement the new exposed brick wall, which runs the length of the original house and the rear extension.
The doors of the kitchen cabinets are painted a deep matt blue to offer a contrast to the light marble worktop as well as the bass sink, tap and door handles.
Outside, a low wall and steps provide a link between the outdoor patio and the slightly elevated lawn.  The patio is covered with blue-tinged limestone, while the red-brick wall matches the construction of the extension.
Intervention Architecture was founded in by Anna Parker in Birmingham and has carried out projects that the transformation of a tiny Victorian coach house into writer's home and studio.
