This conversion of a dilapidated terrace house for contemporary use provides coshare spaces for a variety of domestic living arrangements. The main terrace house provides living spaces at ground level, which flow out into a private sunny courtyard. Above, five bedrooms and a study are complimented by shared bathrooms and laundry. A separate studio above the garage at the rear offers another private bedroom or, alternatively a study or home office.
Most of the existing exterior fabric is retained with new interventions clearly articulated, whilst being contributory and sympathetic, with the original. The intrusion of natural light, the addition of the new studio box at the rear and the use of recycled building materials and sustainability strategies make the project suitable for contemporary life.
