MY House by MW Architects redefines small-space living in South East London. The founder, Matthew Wood, designed a new extension using dark Staffordshire blue engineering bricks. In contrast, the original “half house” features yellow brick. Consequently, this extension of just seven square meters creates both function and delight.
Camberwell Cork House by Delve Architects transforms a conventional Victorian Terrace into a modern family haven that seamlessly connects indoor living with the garden. In addition, the project showcases how sustainable design can not only reduce carbon emissions and lower energy bills, but also enhance biodiversity—all while adding creative flair to a classic home.
KIM-oflage Garden Studio by Delve Architects transforms an overlooked garden corner into a multifunctional oasis for a growing family. Originally part of a dark, damp area used for garden cuttings and dead vegetation, the studio now creates a colourful space designed for sleep, work, painting, and relaxation.
Annie and Dylan, a hairstylist and a landscape designer, needed a flexible space for work and guests without sacrificing their backyard or disrupting the mature landscape. To achieve this, The Perch Bungalow Addition was designed as a 660-square-foot elevated structure, fitting just above the existing bungalow while staying within the City of Austin’s setback limits.
Bookend Addition by Studio Heim thoughtfully enhances a mid-century Seidler-inspired home with two new structures that honor the original design. This project skillfully integrates modern elements while maintaining the integrity of the existing dwelling, creating a harmonious and functional living space.
This residential renovation and addition project is a modern two-story addition to the rear of a preserved early 20th-century New Orleans Shotgun Duplex Home (a two-story mass to the rear is referred to as “Camelbacks” in New Orleans).
Originally, the home was a 1960s detached house in Crystal Palace, situated at the end of a leafy cul-de-sac. It stood among mature trees and close neighbors. Although the family needed more space as they grew, the existing house was narrow, had low ceilings, and felt cramped. It also lacked a true connection to the outdoors.
Holly Cottage, a Grade II Listed property in Meonstoke, Hampshire, has been thoughtfully extended by Studio BAD Architects to accommodate the evolving needs of a growing family. This project masterfully balances the historical essence of the cottage with a distinctly contemporary addition, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
