The dwelling is located within a street of period homes typified by the low, wide gabled roofs of Californian bungalows. Nearly 4000 bricks from the previous property were up-cycled and integrated into the interior and exterior design - although challenging from a builders position, its proven to be a much loved feature of the home for its owners.

Lighting
Large skylights facing north were designed over the study at first floor which is detached from the external walls using a single steel beam, so it almost seems to float over a portion of the main living area. The study footprint was designed to stop short from the north and east walls to allow for the double height voids to illuminate the living spaces below. The skylights not only provide a sun filled study were our clients spend a large portion of their days but also the natural light captured by the skylights washes the feature face brick wall creating different lighting effects throughout the day which can be appreciated from the ground floor. The skylights wrap around an east facing window towards the rear which captures the morning sun and also frames the canopies of trees on neighbouring properties as viewed from the study. This solution provides quality natural lighting throughout the day and very private living areas as side facing windows were no longer required at ground level to achieve desired amount of natural lighting.
Material
Natural timbers have been used internally and externally within the upcycled brickwork to balance more stark materials such as glass and concrete. The external materials have been continued through the loving spaces with a double height wall in upcycled brick adding drama and texture to the rear of the house. Oak joinery and flooring, Pacific Teak cladding, grey marble and brass detailing give further richness to the space. Nearly 4000 bricks from the previous property were up-cycled and integrated into the interior and exterior design - although challenging from a builders position, its proven to be a much loved feature of the home for its owners. The form of the dwelling references this typolgy with its oversized pitched roof. Overlooking and overshadowing by the higher northern neighbour has been overcome through the use of skylights. A custom glazed roof was constructed over the living space, with a mezzanine study slotted in underneath the sloping roof form. The roof form of the dwelling has been fragmented to provide ventilation and light into the centre of the house.

This project involved the complete refurbishment and extension of a semi-detached Victorian house in Wandsworth. In plan, the unusual wedge-shaped house means that the house is much larger at the rear than the front, with the appearance of a modest house at the front while the end of the garden extends is the width of four terraced plots.
