Golden Ash
By Bryant Alsop Architects
This Edwardian gem needed a little more love and a complete makeover to create a long-term home for a busy family of five. A double-height stair was introduced centrally and a north-facing courtyard was created allowing the kitchen and dining areas to be light-filled all year round.
It was important to preserve the period character of the original house, while providing a smooth transition to the contemporary addition. Materials were chosen to tie with period detail and for their durability. Lighter colours and soft folding shapes help deceive the eye as to the narrow lot and restricted spaces. Experience with smaller period homes has taught us how to create space and light in the tightest of homes.
