Wolsey Road
Islington
Overview
The narrative for Wolsey Road draws upon the historic name of ‘Newington Green Gardens’. This terraced house sits opposite a surreal mural of a garden which has since faded, we designed the extension around the concept of re-establishing the faded mural and history, to cultivate the illusion of a forest in the property.
Using a palette of simple materials Rare extended into the roof of the house to create a new bedroom and en-suite that curves and ‘floats’ upon the top floor. The new space creates a haven in the treetops, flooded with light and warmed by timber.
