LOCATION/LONDON,UK

TYPE/RESIDENTIAL

A photographer and lawyer’s home in Kensal Green. The couple asked us to design and extend a series of spaces in the property for their growing family: rear side extension, open plan ground floor with designated cloakroom and dramatic entrance scene to the lowered rear section of the house.

All levels were opened up to a maximum to allow as much daylight as possible to penetrate the north facing rear. The Ground floor glass extension roof and the Crittall style windows to the garden; on the first floor we opened up the outrigger space to the underside of the eaves and achieved a drastically enlarged Crittal style opening to the rear as the first practice in the area; the loft extension with a pod addition also benefits from a lot of daylight. Overall, the development was kept on a minimum expenditure by using economic finishes and details. today the family is enjoying the bright house and occasionally rents it out for commercials and photo shoots.
