Hackney Bay House by Material Works redefines a once-dark Victorian terrace into a luminous, sustainable sanctuary for modern family life. Moreover, this renovation blends contemporary refinement with natural materials and energy-efficient systems, setting a new standard for healthy, 21st-century living.
Material Works were commissioned to design a a small addition to this victorian terraced house in Stoke Newington, London. With a limited budget and limited space for building in, the challenge was to transform the existing dark and cramped kitchen space into a bright and open space that would cater to the needs of a growing family.
Having moved from a substantial loft apartment to a Victorian terrace, the clients were keen to recapture the open sense of space and light their former home had offered. The brief called for an open space that could be adapted for either entertaining, dining or relaxing simply by moving loose furniture.
