  • The interior of the glass and timber extension,     

Renovation of a 1960s boutique for its relaunch with the addition of a timber and glass extension to the rear

Old layers of plaster and MDF were stripped back exposing the original structure of the terraced property. This space is opened up with glazed extension, enclosing the courtyard creating a light gallery space

Giant oak fins wrap over and then under the new glazed roof to control the quality of light in the gallery space, and create a distinctive element linking old and new, where original brickwork, timber and cast iron meets highly polished concrete, aluminium and sliding glass screens.
