The greatest intensity of new architectural elements is the ground-floor rear extension, but elements of this sculptural language are also scattered throughout the building.

The continuity of forms and materials between the interior and exterior lends an exterior quality to the interior and vice versa.

The articulation of the built architectural scheme recalls the diagrammatic qualities of the drawings that describe it—particularly the exploded axonometric.

Description

A recently completed project in Stoke Newington, London, by WILLIAM TOZER Associates

The building exterior is finished in London stock brick, black-painted brick, and black charred larch. The black timber finish continues into the interior at the threshold, and is repeated in another volume in the centre of the ground floor—punctuating the division of the open-plan space into kitchen, dining and living zones. This surface treatment of vertical timber is repeated on storage volumes on the first and second floors, but with a white paint finish.

The threshold between inside and outside is further dissolved by the continuity of a polished concrete floor finish—which extends from the terrace into the kitchen and dining spaces—and an exposed brick wall in the same stock and finish as the rear elevation of the house. Elsewhere, original Victorian floorboards are curated into the new design with a blonding treatment. A projecting glass box brings natural light deep into ground floor plan.
