Cruden Street
Islington
Overview
Rare took on the clients brief to expand their home, introduce light and improve connectivity by extending it upwards, downwards and outwards. The new extensions were brought together through the introduction of a new stair with glazed light well, internal balconies and glass partitions alongside large format windows.
Rather than hiding we celebrated the junction's between the original building and the new through their materiality. This acted as a means to express the journey and flow through the spaces enhancing the visual connectivity whilst allowing them to frame key elements, views and places to pause and enjoy them.
