British architecture practice Studio Marlin Has updated a Victorian Home Hodh House in Stoke Newington with a wildflower-top Expansion It attracts on Scandinavian design.
In the name of the word Danish for the high, the Hodh House is located at the end of a roof of the 19th century, characterized by four -storey long houses with narrow gardens at the back.
Studio MarlinThe expansion of the lower surface of the house extends to the garden in the garden, intentionally fickle “in the garden, with the open-plate kitchen and dining area, aimed at encouraging indoor-outdoor.
Founder Josh Pidock told Dezen, “Our customers wanted a flexible place, which would allow a spontaneous flow of activity from outside to inside, especially for family ceremonies during summer,” Founder Josh Pidock told Dezen .
The broad-low expansion, made of neutral-tond concrete blocks, is intentionally opposite with London Stock Brick of honey colored honey of the original house and boundary walls.
“The material palette was deliberately neutral to draw attention to the natural elements and provide a balanced and warm minimal beauty,” Pidock explained.
Taking hints from the scandinavian design, the wood is left with heavy features in the entire design and mainly with a natural finish. It contains pink and yellow-tond douls cedar in the kitchen.
A pivoting glass door prepared by natural red Grandis Timber access a solid courtyard flanged by a planter, which steps from a small lawn.
Under a large window, adjacent to the outer wall of the extension, there is a minimal bench that matches the masonry blocks of the extension.
“A dedicated space for morning coffee and fresh air is achieved, which embedded horticulture activities directly into the architectural form of the building,” Pidock said.
To help integrate the expansion further with the garden, it has a polish concrete floor that refers to the courtyard. It was important to create a sense of “dining room in a garden”, which the studio said was one of the main requests of the customer.
The structure is crowned by a wildflower meadow, punctured by two large frimless skylights that draw natural lighting into the dining area below. It is supported by Douglas again rafters who are exposed as a feature.
The roof of this wildflower is designed to slow the run-off of rain water and reduce the floods, as the house is located in one of the important drainage sites of Boro.
“The main challenge with the project was working within the height restrictions imposed by both deep wildflover, untouched roof and exposed wood structure,” Pidock said.
It was removed through the implementation of a soft pitch roof instead of a flat roof, to create additional height in space.
At the height of the road, there is an additional bedroom behind the kitchen, an inseted bathroom and utility room to accommodate friends and family.
With the extension designed to reduce the impact on the existing building “, the upper floors remain largely unchanged.
The update involves an improvement of the family’s bathroom, where the studio Marlin has introduced stone floor and warm plaster walls.
Somewhere else, refurbished oak floorboards and a stripped-back ladder and ballast, furniture and roof pastel color palettes with visual continuity.
“Family bathroom, located on the second floor behind the master bedroom, is completely replaced with a minimal pastelone plaster wall finish and warm stone floor,” Pidock said.
He said, “It offers a huge and cool bathroom with an open vetterroom-style shower, freestanding bathtub and individual washbasins,” he said.
“The intervention in the hose house is deeply functional, yet deliberately fickle,” Pidock concluded. “Throughout the architecture we tried to create opportunities for the stories – just ask Fox to camp on the roof of the wildflower.”
Somewhere else in London, Studio Marilyn also recently Changed its founder’s flat with “storage spectrum”,
Even in the capital city, OEB Architects recently completed a colorful scaffold extension informed by Italian Palazos and painting And The Office S&M expanded a house in Haikney that fulfills “both human and failin inhabitants”.,
