DIAMOND

Creating space in a typical Edwardian terrace for a growing family, this project extends the house both up and out. The rear extension swells into the garden maximising this new connection, and the natural light and volume within. The material and form is continued into a roof dormer, together forming something precious amongst the surrounding ad hoc extensions and previously uncared for backlands.

The ground floor is opened up with views and light right through. An Edwardian green joinery ‘island’, shared between the utility and kitchen spaces, forms the heart of the plan. The kitchen connects contrasting living spaces, occupying the awkward centre of deep London house plans that is so often an afterthought. Concealed pocket doors allow all the various spaces to be fully separated.
