Elemental House

Hackney, 2023

This remodelling of a 1970s terrace house transformed the house for modern living whilst showing a commitment to expressing both the original retained materials and the new interventions. Stripped of finishes the new thermally broken reinforced concrete extension is a celebration of honest materials and legible structure.
