Lewisham
Alterations and additions to an existing free standing Victorian terrace. The existing rear was both hot in summer and cold in winter.
Design Response
The project centred around providing a rear addition that opened up to the existing landscape. Allowing the owners both landscape architects a natural workshop for experimenting.
It was important to retain the existing period features of the front four rooms that the owners love. As a result the house becomes a dichotomy of cosy 19th Century closed rooms with high ceilings, and an open modern flow of spaces to the garden.
