伦敦东部的空间组建筑事务所私人住宅设计

Architect：Space Group Architects

Location：London , United Kingdom

Category：Private Houses

We have been appointed to refurbish and extend this Grade II listed building in East London. The extensions consist of a frameless glass box which is sunken below ground level containing the dining area against a vertical garden and a mansard roof extension which provides space for an additional master bedroom including an en-suite bathroom. The latter will be openable towards the bedroom via a sliding wooden screen.

Existing external vaults are converted into an herb garden and a wine storage. The existing cold floor build up gets replaced with insulated recycled concrete floor boards which are also under-floor heated. The non-compliant main staircase is addressed by utilizing fire glazing. The existing first floor bathroom receives an internal high-performance insulated lining and a complete overhaul in order to be thermally sound and modern wet room experience.

A rich but sophisticated material palette complements existing modernist furniture masterpieces: Clay render, exposed brickwork, polished concrete, matt white mosaic tiles, interwoven metallic rubber, copper ironmongery, tinted glass, bronzed mirrors and hardwood sit comfortably next to Charles Eames, Poul Henningsen, Dieter Rams and other pieces. A new fire place provides extra comfort to the lower ground floor.

Donald Judd and Dan Flavin have a striking influence on some of the minimalist details which can be found throughout the house. One can also sense a deliberate Japanese aura which is homage to one of the client's childhood.
