This compact addition is defined externally by a small pitched roof using the charred timber cladding (Shou Sugi Ban) and the internal courtyard is highlighted in a natural timber finish which extends to the interior finishes with the natural timber framed windows and timber floors. Via the bedroom, using exposed brickwork further blurs the definition between the external and internal materials to the external courtyard space and through the sliding door takes the eye to the external garden space. The black facade conceals the uses behind, while the gable end reveals the internal spatial forms of the raked ceilings to the street front. The bathroom, hall and bedrooms are connected to a single courtyard by way of sliding doors and the windows, whilst clever placement of windows still provide privacy between the spaces.

About the
Professional

Kathy Grigoriu founded Wyk Architecture driven by a passion for creating spaces of simplicity and elegance that inspire, excite and engage those who experience them. Through architecture, she sees design as an opportunity to change behaviour and the environment for the better.  

Her work encompasses projects of all scales and while Wyk Architecture is predominantly recognised for private homes, the practice’s portfolio includes a range of projects incuding heriatge work and education.  

Each project shares an emphasis on carefully designed spaces, simple forms and careful selection of materials. The delicate control of light is fundamental - light is celebrated and darkness embraced, creating a subtle drama and a quiet intensity. 

With a design process based on collaboration, Wyk Architecture strives to deliver a service that is accessible and inclusive. Kathy listens, creates and inspires, working closely with her clients to refine and realise their vision.Any Additional Sections on the About page (e.g. FAQs, company history, etc)
