London Archipelago

Central London

Overview

The project involved works to a grand semi-detached villa including the replacement of an existing rear extension with a new enlarged extension, developing and extending the dilapidated outbuilding (former coach house) to the rear of the garden into a separate guesthouse and complete refurbishment of the existing house.

The concept sought to connect the main house with the garden and rare surviving Coach House building to its rear, which had fallen into disrepair.

By orientating the new extension to the house to address the extension to the rear garden building, the concept sought to re-establish the connection between these two elements by using sharded materially and design language to do so. The garden then becomes the link between the two. The extensions were finished with a colour to match the leaf of one of the most prominent trees in the garden.
