Renovation of a Victorian House in Hackney, featuring a one metre-deep timber framed glass extension
Both the garden and the basement floor have been lowered and a glazed box has been added to the rear. Part of the upper ground floor has been removed to create a double height dining area and kitchen that connects directly to the garden.
The two-storey cruciform façade is engineered from Douglas fir and structurally bonded double-glazing. A white kitchen and concrete floor are offset with natural materials and warm brick hues in the small courtyard.
Part of the upper ground floor was also removed from the front of the house to give access for a new stair.
