Newick Road, London

This project is for a whole house renovation in Clapton, Hackney. It includes both roof and rear extensions with substantial structural alterations and basement excavations, creating generous new living spaces with high ceilings and large glazed openings.

The design responds to national permitted planning guidelines which allows an extension of up to 6m from the rear building facade. The thick brick wall construction combined with large stepped openings gives the extension a monolithic presence, at the same time complementing the existing Victorian architecture.

The house was completed in spring 2022.
