Town House
Through clever handling of light and aspect, this alteration creates an inner-city sanctuary. The existing pair of townhouses have been carefully restored and reconfigured, with history not forgotten through the retention of sections of the existing brick party wall. The scrupulously crafted single-storey addition is sympathetically scaled and skillfully handles the relationship to the north. A northern courtyard with an elegant, glistening pool punctures what would have been the darkest part of the plan. Through the integration of a courtyard and clerestory windows, natural light washes down and reflects off the pool to animate the new living spaces and terraces.
