Stacked Brick Extension by YARD Architects
The Stacked Brick Extension is a ground floor wrap around extension to a small Victorian terraced house in Stoke Newington.
YARD Architects is an award-winning creative design practice.
We are passionately client focused, specialising in design-led residential architecture from inspirational house extensions to highly successful multi-unit developments. We work closely with our clients to deliver exceptional contextually driven work, tailored to the needs and aspirations of the people who commission us.
As a RIBA chartered practice, we offer a tailored service through all work stages from briefing and concept design through to handing over the keys at completion. One of our directors leads every project in the office, working collaboratively with the client and project team to successfully deliver each scheme. Our ethos is to create intelligent and practical spaces with an emphasis on craftsmanship, quality of light and a sense of timelessness, and we aim to make the journey of creating a piece of architecture an enjoyable one.
Our design process starts by interrogating the brief and establishing from the outset exactly what it is our clients are looking for. We then work through an in-depth exploration of design possibilities, utilising model-making, drawings, and visualisations to develop the scope and design, before producing detailed technical packages and specifications for pricing and construction. We can oversee and manage our schemes on site to help the client successfully manage the quality, cost and timescale of their project through to completion.
YARD Architects have completed over 100 projects since forming in 2014, prior to which our directors developed extensive expertise in designing and delivering homes for families, individuals and developers. We are adept at managing relationships across the project team, and have developed a network of consultants and contractors who we work with regularly to assist in completing each project as smoothly as possible.
Operating across London and the south-east from our studio next to Borough Market, we are an ambitious and driven team, striving to ensure that each project is as enjoyable and successful as the last. Since our formation we are fortunate to have been featured in numerous publications and won awards for our work, success which has been fostered by building trusting and collaborative relationships with our clients, who enable our projects to happen.

The Stacked Brick Extension is a ground floor wrap around extension to a small Victorian terraced house in Stoke Newington.
YARD Architects first met Nathalie and Alex at a Don’t Move, Improve! consultation run by the NLA at their annual exhibition of the best new domestic residential architecture in London.
A full refurbishment with rear and loft extensions transformed this small terraced property into a light and contemporary home.
Bankside Lofts, opposite the iconic Tate Modern building, was one of the first projects developed by the Manhattan Loft Corporation.
The clients approached YARD Architects with an ambitious brief that looked to combine a specific and pragmatic spatial arrangement within a dramatic architectural intervention.
Our clients for Banana Tree House are from Germany and Jamaica, and their initial brief contained images of tropical plants, houses in Brazil and pictures exotic holidays.
