Text details provided by architects. When the studio 163 was contacted to convert the flat of this ground-floor one-bedroom into a bright and modern two-bedroom flat in the city of Kentish, it was a very dark and moist place in which flow and visual connection There was a shortage of Both the bedroom and bathroom were behind the property with the kitchen and the front living room space. This created a strange result of passing through the bedroom to reach the garden. It was very important for the architects that the new place reflects the customer’s character and the way of living – to create a place for recreational and socialization as well as a peaceful garden for this aspiring landscape designer. Whatever she was, it was very noticeable to re -tell her and make a durable option.
There were a lot of obstacles in the property – that is, the boundary issues with the neighbors and the top flats, due to concerns and being in a conservation area. The priority was to maximize space and natural light, while using the garden as an extension of the flat, finding the connection between the inside and outside. It became clear that with a simple side extension, we can open the plan, and maintain the existing rear extension but can improve it thermal and visually. The studio brought the living space in 163 to the front of the flat in the rear and bedroom, essentially flipped the original layout of the flat and added a bedroom. This created a strong relationship with the garden, which increased by the use of a large axis door. Microchement Vetum and WC have been deployed as two “pods” at the center on both sides of the main circulation, but the use of the courtyard enables natural light to reach the plan further and ensures a look from all out of all Room.
A lot of work has been done to enhance the breath of the building of the building. This was mainly done using a permanent and naturally porous material that helps to regulate humidity. The use of clay plaster adds heat to the house, using a natural palette, using a natural palette, which raises the tones of the surrounding roof, the tones of the surrounding roof, combining the existing and new together Does. We deliberately chose different colors for the band above three pierce and the opus, which mark the boundary between the ground floor and the current flat above.
Like most London flats, lack of storage space means that the new Bispoke Joine was provided a shelf spaces as well as a lot of hard work to hide items such as boilers and utility space. Oak, which is the material prevalent in the spaces, adds heat to the house, helping to pursue the relationship with the garden. The landscape scheme that was also designed by us was about offering various fields and layers, which was in place with frame to the scene. The feeling of cool is also derived from the use of gravel like Zen Garden and Clay Plaster which is again present here on the planters. The expansion is physically and formally base and understands its context.
