3 London Houses

This summer we have three houses on site, all due for completion in the next few months.

The first is a typical end of terrace Victorian house in which we have extended outward and sideward at ground level, using cranked steel beams to support the floors above. The second is a 3 story 1950’s house, on to which we have built a timber frame 2 story extension as a part of a total reconfiguration of the main house. The third is an internal reconfiguration of an early Victorian house, including a new pop-out window from the kitchen to provide additional space and connection to the garden.

As a part of feasibility stage development for House no. 46, a new commission in London, we hired a cherry picker to see at what point in the site we would achieve views to some amazing London landmarks. At 21m in height, the views are breathtaking, even if the height is a trifle unsettling….

No Handles, No Corners - Practical completion

Work is now complete on the refurbishment of this penthouse apartment. A number of the building elements were harvested from sustainable sources including the maple floor which has been recycled from a School Gym in Hackney, and a work top cast out of recycled glass bottles.
