The details of the new addition are inspired by a classic Roman villa, which is at the back of the [Victorian terraced home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bindloss-dawes). It has a large space that is home to a dining space, a conservatory, and a functional kitchen. In terms of the construction, it has a brown pigmented concrete surface, a [vaulted ceiling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lewisham-loggias), and a climbing-plant wall. The windows of the space are panelled with wood. Benni Allan, the founder of the studio states that. "We started with two images in mind. One was of a garden framed by a heavily textured sculpted interior, and the other."
