The Project

A rear extension and internal remodelling to a Victorian terrace, opening the ground floor to the garden and drawing daylight down through the middle of the plan.

The extension is built in buff brick at ground level and a herringbone-laid stock brick above, a detail carried around the corner of the first-floor window and set out to align with the existing courses. Full-width sliding glazing opens the living space onto the paved courtyard.

Internally the living space was taken to double height, with a curved staircase in dark steel and timber treads cantilevered off the original brickwork, which was retained and cleaned. Upstairs, a bedroom gained a steel stair to a new mezzanine, with fitted joinery built in beneath.
