Stoke Newington House
A mid terrace Victorian home reconfiguration in a sought after area of Stoke Newington. The house currently features an upside down design where living spaces are laid out upstairs to make the most of limited daylight. What should otherwise be the prime space to the rear of ground floor next to the garden is relegated to a utility room due to restricted ceiling height. Addressing this, as well as adding a bedroom and creating a contemporary home is very high on the priorities’ list.
The design started with reconnecting the interior and the private garden with improvements made to circulation, headheight and flow of spaces. A more traditional model of entertainment spaces downstairs and private bedrooms upstairs is reverted to.
Architecturally, the design features a double storey rear extension which was permitted due to a previous enlargement already present on site. This extension features a clay render finish and glazing directed at the garden. In the ground floor kitchen space, the glazing is designed to retract all the way when the weather permits and bringing some of the external finishes in not only blurs the line between inside and outside but also creates and architectural feature of a portal linking the two spaces.
With works currently underway on site we are gearing for the big reveal at the end of 2024.
Date appointed — February 2023
Date commenced on site — March 2024
