Comprising the eastern half of an interwar semi, this South London home was extended progressively northward across the late 20th and early 21st centuries, forming an accretion of rooms and a poorly planned kitchen that struggled to define a working pattern of use.
Light, Air, Views, Connection to Nature…as long as this is well considered, we find the rest of the design will fall easily into place. That was the motivating factor behind this single-family residential renovation and addition.
White Patio House is an extension and renovation of an existing Victorian terrace. It was conceived as a prototype for urban dense living, where the development has been thoughtfully maximized within local planning constraints.
Two-Storey Timber Addition – Studio Weave has added a double-story timber artist’s retreat to a stone cottage in Devon, completing the revival of the holiday home for a family based between London and the countryside.
Carthona House turns a modern lens to the extension of a Federation home in Mosman, constructing an artisanal and elemental sensibility that speaks to the rituals of Australian living.
Single-storied and modest in size with a distinct sloping roof and generous verandah area at the rear, this humble addition embodies the characteristics of mid-century Australian bungalows.
The Ripple House is a series of unfurling spaces defined by subtle shifts in the site and light. Discreetly positioned behind a single-fronted Victorian façade, the addition reinvents the previously disconnected floorplan, creating a highly adaptable family home connected to its garden.
