Tigg hopes that some of the techniques they've used could be replicated in other house projects. House for Theo and Oskar is shortlisted for the RIBA's House of the Year prize The studio has previously worked in various different types of residential projects, from a railway-influenced student housing building to a home extension with a bright red steel frame. Tigg + Coll was invited to work on the project after winning a design competition organised by Colander Associates.

House for Theo and Oskar is one of four projects to so far make the shortlist for the RIBA's House of the Year prize, which is being announced as part of a special series of television show Grand Designs. The idea, he said, was to create "a protective, sheltered and warm space where the light could be allowed to come through in a dappled way". "Our concept was always to have a relationship to the garden and in particular the idea of the tree canopy," he stated. A wheelchair-accessible wet room also features in the extension Tigg believes it is the first house in the UK to be built in this way. These sandwich panels would not typically be used in a single house, but were possible here because housing developer Ballymore gave its support to the project. As a result, Tigg + Coll could design glazed facades that slide back completely, allowing the rooms to open to the garden. The roof cantilevers off the precast concrete sandwich panels that form internal walls. "It allowed us to create very long cantilevers and wide spans, which were fundamental to the brief of delivering an adaptable home," he said. "The timber diagrid provides incredible strength and flexibility for the future," said Tigg.

The entire structure was prefabricated in a factory, which meant it could be fully tested in advance. The renovation places the kitchen and living room in the centre of floor plan It was built using plywood and a type of engineered wood known as glulam, creating a grid structure able to support hoists in various different locations.

The diagrid roof structure spans the boys' bedrooms and also extends out to create a canopy for the garden. Sliding glass doors allow these rooms to open out to the garden The layout of the existing house was also altered, relocating the kitchen to the centre of the floor plan and creating a larger entrance hall than was there previously. The extension provides generous bedrooms for the two boys, a wheelchair-accessible bathroom and WC, and a spare bedroom that could accommodate a carer. "This background work was so important to make sure what we designed really would be flexible and appropriate." The diagrid roof could support hoists in the children's bedrooms "We visited care and rehabilitation centres to understand more about living with DMD and how using hoists would impact the boys as they grow," he told Dezeen. "The family were key to the process," said studio co-founder David Tigg, "but we also spent a great deal of time with occupational therapists, and had discussions with other families who are living with DMD." The extension extends out from the rear corner of the existing house
