#An Eclectic Victorian Home Refurbishment and Extension

[myhouseidea]

The design focus for this North London Victorian terrace home design project designed by Charles Tashima Architecture was the refurbishment and reconfiguration of the ground floor together with additional space of a new side-return. Photography by Oliver Perrott.

“Orienting and organising the interior architecture to maximise sunlight during the course of the day was one of our primary challenges solved.

While the front of the house faces south-southeast with wonderful direct morning light, the rear garden faces northwest, consequently less light for most of the day.

​At the encouragement and inspiration of our famous client, we made the somewhat counter-intuitive decision of relocating the kitchen to the smallest room at the back of the terrace house, rather than in the larger room extension in the garden.

This move had advantages. The kitchen gained the strategic position to serve both the garden living area to the back and breakfast room at the front. It’s important to note that the living and family dining areas are set (about 7 steps) lower than the main ground floor of the house.

In order to improve the connection and flow of the two levels, we designed a stair with a generous half landing – a space between. Just above this landing, we introduced a glazed cube for light as well as head-height. The stair is made of reclaimed oak, blackened steel and polished brass handrail.

To improve the use and volume of light within the existing extension, we added a number of windows and skylights in addition to a side return and window seat, projecting into the garden with a direct view of a beautiful magnolia tree. In the late afternoon, there is a brief period when light cuts across the house on the garden side and light does have a moment of direct engagement.

As to the character of the rooms, our client asked for an eclectic approach, using a rich variety of materials – including reclaimed flooring, concrete worktop, Moroccan cement tiles, coloured glass and steel windows – to work together with a variety of colours and rich array of their furniture.

We sought to create atmospheric and warm spaces with bespoke joinery. It was important that the room had the dual feel of being a place to read the newspaper and have breakfast, while having the warmth and comfort of surrounding books and photographs.”

Hoxton House, East London

Hoxton House, East London Home, Building Renovation Images, Residential Architecture Project

Hoxton House in East London

26 Jan 2021

Hoxton House

Design: Bradley Van Der Straeten

Location: East London, UK

This Hoxton Terrace House received a colourful, full interior refurbishment. For a client who is a Barbican enthusiast, the palette was able to be strong and eclectic. Beautiful existing features of the building were celebrated, like the exposed steel beams and the old basketball court floors.

With an already open plan kitchen, the existing layout didn’t meet regulations – the challenge was to keep the open functionality and feel while bringing it up to current requirements. Fire rated glazed doors were incorporated on the ground floor to retain visual connections but also contain the kitchen acoustically and for fire separation.

Upstairs, the colour continues with the bedrooms and bathrooms using block colour and simple tiling to make a colourful statement.

What was the brief? A full renovation of a three storey Victorian terraced house. Create an improved open plan kitchen/dining/lounge area whilst meeting the fire regulations. The existing property had a kitchen/dining area that was not meet the current fire safety standards. Create an en-suite bathroom for the first floor bedroom. Improve the daylight intake in the lounge area. Improve connection to the courtyard with large sliding doors. Creating fun spaces.

What were the key challenges? Compactness of all spaces. The existing property had no hallway from the front door to the stairs up to the upper floors, something that doesn’t meet fire regulations. The challenge was to keep that open plan feel whilst meeting the fire regulations.

What were the solutions? A glazed set of steel fire rated doors provide the open plan feel with the hallway, whilst meeting the current fire regulations. A new set of aluminium doors give out to the newly paved courtyard. A walk on rooflight was inserted in the roof of the existing ground floor extension, letting in more light, whilst not compromising on the practicality of the first floor terrace from the rear bedroom. Insertion of a small but colourful mint bathroom on the first floor. Remodeling the family bathroom that housed not only a separate shower and bath, but also a stacked washer/dryer and new boiler above the hidden cistern of the toilet. This same bathroom was injected with bold pink and peach tiles making it very striking as soon as you walk in through the door. Reinterpretation of the typical Victorian dado-rail across the rooms with painted datum lines set out at different heights to inject interest and colour in both bedrooms. Design with light fittings in mind. The Flos String light is a very architectural fitting, allowing the designer to work with the cable in an interesting way.

How is the project unique? The eclecticism of the material choices. Colourful design with simple ideas and tiles. Being bold with colour and persevere with the execution of the design concept from initial sketch to construction. Curation of upcycled pieces of furniture with new fixtures and fittings creating a very personal and unique feel of space.

Who are the clients and what’s interesting about them? Wants to be as anonymous as possible.

11 July 2020 Peter Morris’s Camden Cloud House Approval

The Cloud House is the vision of architect Peter Morris and TV producer Emily Kennedy. This extraordinary fantastical architecture has been approved for small back street in Gospel Oak.

Peter and Emily have applied for permission to demolish their Victorian home in Vicar’s Road and replace it with two houses.

It is an interesting street, very eclectic, and not in a conservation area.

The couple had initially considered remodelling their homewhich dates from around 1880.

It does not function well, suffering from being damp, draughty and extremely difficult to heat.

The Cloud House will incorporate the current building by recycling its bricks to create a herringbone patterned floor.
