Architecture and Interior Design

This project is an example of how intelligent adjustments to an existing volume can meet the brief of a project. This approach creates less waste and less volume to heat in comparison with new extensions.

The existing loft rooms were unsuitable for a growing family and were an inefficient use of space.

The new layout has added a bedroom whilst bringing more defined experiences and uses to the house.

By removing a Juliet balcony and replacing this with a window, a defined work space is formed. The desk in the window gives a commanding uninterrupted view over neighbouring terraces.

The curved wall becomes a device to help the flow of circulation space, whilst making the bathroom appear generous and joyful. A new rear bedroom has a bespoke bed with bunk capacity using the fold out shelf. The scale of the newly adjusted window feels grand and generous in a small room.

The material palette is influenced by the clients Scandinavian heritage with natural woven carpets and green marble similar to the Stockholm City Hall. The small wall tiles reference Alvar Aalto and allow for the formation of a smooth curve.
