Here’s a roundup of a few film shots taken by the talented @chriswhartonphotography of our client Carla, whose been a massive inspiration for our Brookscroft Road project.

Externally, the Brookscroft Road extension has been clad in red toned bricks that match the existing house.

The element of playfulness which is present internally was also continued externally through the way the bricks project outwards in a randomised order through the rigid stretcher bond🧱

By utilising timber construction in the rear extension of Brookscroft Road, we were able to expose this internally to create niches formed of vertical and horizontal studs that are both structural and decorative.

These niches have provided the client with a playful and bold backdrop to display objects in such way that it has become an adaptable gallery for everyday life.

The exposed timber backdrop has been carefully combined internally with a two-tone pink kitchen, which very much reflects our client’s love of bold colours.

Our recently completed Brookscroft Road project in Walthamstow where we designed a new rear extension to a terraced house and reconfigured the internal spatial layout.

Through utilising exposed timber construction for the extension we were able to minimise the use of materials, to provide a purposeful, dynamic and playful space for our client to inhabit.

Our client wanted to expand their cramped Victoria

Our client wanted to expand their cramped Victorian terraced house to
accommodate a growing family as well as visiting relatives. To squeeze in
3 bedrooms we designed a loft conversion and reconfigured the first and ground floor and created these two unusual extensions – through two different planning applications - to form a space that feels like one generous gathering kitchen/dining and lounge area.

The curves of the roof accommodate strict planning constraints around eaves
and roof heights while maximizing internal ceiling height.

Re-introducing Tennyson Road in Walthamstow.

The curves of the roof accommodate strict planning constraints whilst maximising internal ceiling heights.

In designing, CNC milling then constructing the birch ply frame, in collaboration with our contractors, we reduced costs as well as environmental impact, thanks to this no-waste process.

The same CNC methodology was used to create an attractive sliding door that seals off the smells and sounds of this kitchen extension from the rest of
the house.

🚨New project alert🚨

Over the past year we’ve been working on the refurbishment and extension of this beautiful Arts & Crafts home in North London.

Having obtained planning permission a couple of weeks ago for a contemporary addition we can’t wait to progress to the next stage. More updates to follow over the next year!
