2. William Tozer Associates_Vertical Intersect 02 The spaces are further delineated by large, white sculptural volumes, which define soft edges between them while providing storage. The kitchen is articulated as a composition of smaller-scale volumes variously finished in stone, timber veneer, and white paint. 2989 px 1988 px 2 MB Print - Low res only |

20. William Tozer Associates_Vertical Intersect 20 A pedestrian rooflight allows natural light into the otherwise darker lower ground floor, making it feel bright and spacious. Simultaneously, the rooflight acts as separation between the more traditional shape of a Victorian bay window and the squared lines of a more modern internal approach. 2592 px 3888 px 2 MB A4 print |
Description
This five-story house is sited in the middle of a Victorian terrace, and the exterior treats this historical setting as a found-object, preserving the London stock brick elevations and slate roof, but incising them with frameless glazing. The character of the interior is set by two double-height voids connecting the ground floor that one enters from the street, and the lower-ground floor, which is at garden level to the rear. Pedestrian-loaded glass to one of these voids brings natural light into a sitting area at the front of the lower-ground floor, while the other is open—visually and acoustically connecting the ground-floor living space and lower-ground-floor dining area. The other levels of the house have a loft-like character—concealed doors allowing them to function as open-plan spaces, or to be partially or fully enclosed into private bedrooms and bathrooms.
