Victorian house extension and renovation
City of London / United Kingdom / 2010
Project with Tamir Addadi
The site of the project is a Victorian house located in a conservation area in Islington neighbourhood. The main aim of the intervention was to create a sense of unity between the house and its backyard, allowing nature to play a significant role in the daily activities of the family.
Originally, the presence of the back garden in the house was minimal. View of the garden was limited, and the sole access to it was through a utility room located between the basement and the ground floor.
The back garden was excavated and the basement floor extended into it, to accommodate a new lounge.
The new lounge designed as a transitional space between the house and the garden, a space fusing qualities of indoors and outdoors.
The basement floor, originally consisted solely of a kitchen and a dining room, has been converted into a multi-use area, a space in which the family can have guests, work, watch films, eat, and where the children can play. A new bathroom and a utility area were added to this floor, as well as a new separate entrance from street level.
