Description
An oak-framed extension and refurbishment of a North London Victorian terraced house, built with as little as possible.
The design approach prioritises efficiency, but is used to make a dynamic and changeable interior of familiarity and warmth for the home of a young family. The project embodies the client and architect's shared interest in building with less, for the environmental benefit of using less actual physical material, and the practical efficiency in incorporating the fewest number of different elements. The project explores what richness can be brought about within these limitations.
The simplicity of the approach is in the form and fabrication, but the space is not intended to be minimal. Each of the surfaces are lively with textures and dappled light. Oak is the predominant material for the structure and the kitchen. The ceiling is lined in softwood planks, continuing the neat lines of the structure. The floor tiles are gently polychromatic, from deep reds to muted beige. Material choices aim to evoke the character of a particular strand of domestic Modernism without needing the space to be populated with the associated products of that era in order to do so.
The existing house has been reconfigured to make the most of its limited size. The stair has been reorientated from its original position, allowing for a more compact arrangement and larger bedrooms. A shower room has been inserted in the centre of the first floor and a WC tucked under the stairs on the ground floor, small functional spaces that allow the more open living spaces and bedrooms.
he roof is made to be a continuation of the garden, appearing as a heavily planted field of colourful wild flowers outside the first floor windows, defined by a thin aluminium edge.
