Francesco Pierazzi ArchitectsA new treatment for the front boundary wall marks the beginning of an itinerary through the house punctuated by a sequence of interventions that albeit modest, have an impact greater than their scope.
The pairing of corten steel and teak slats is used for the design of the bespoke bike storage incorporating the entrance gate and bespoke planters to revive the monotonous streetscape.

James Dale ArchitectsJames Dale Architects were appointed to design this rear side infill kitchen extension in Leyton, north east London, UK. The design has created a light and modern kitchen and living space at the back of the building, transforming the ground floor from dark and uninviting into a sleek, bright and open planned.
The exterior of the modern extension is clad in blue encaustic tile and features an oriel window inserted into the rear elevation.
Francesco Pierazzi ArchitectsThe house, a London stock Victorian three-storey mid terrace, is located in the hip neighbourhood of Brixton and the clients brought the project to FPA with a view to enlarge the ground floor into the garden and create additional living quarters into the attic space.
The organization of the ground floor extension is based on two linear volumes of differing depth, arranged side by side and clearly distinguished for the different treatment of their exterior: light painted render is juxtaposed to dark stained timber decking boards. Windows and doors are different in size to add a dynamic element to the façade and offer varying views of the mature garden.
The roof extension is clad in slates to blend with the surrounding roofscape with an elongated window overlooking the garden.
The introduction of folding partitions and sliding doors, which generate an array of possible spatial subdivisions, complements the former open space arrangement on the ground floor. The design intends to engage with the physical aspect of the users by puncturing the wall between house and extension with openings reduced in height that lead one to the space with the higher ceiling and vice versa.
Expanses of white wall surface allow the display of the clients’ collection of tribal and contemporary art and supplement an assemblage of pieces of modernist furniture.

TAG ARCHITECTSWe were originally asked by the Clients to remodel and enlarge small 1950s townhouse standing on a pleasantly secluded south-facing plot. But after some analysis it became obvious that poor quality and modest size of the original house was making it unviable for transformation into a comfortable residence. Demolishing the original house and building a new modern house in its place was the only possible alternative.
We prepared the designs, negotiated and obtained planning permission for demolishing the existing house and building a new larger one with large new basement in its place. The new house has more than double the floor area of the original one. It is of extremely high environmental standards, with comfortable and spacious floor plans and is of inoffensive design that sits tactfully between its neighbours offering harmonious addition to the Conservation Area.
To achieve continuity of the streetscape the construction materials chosen for the new house are referencing the prevailing materials of the neighbouring houses. The design allows the house to assert it own visual identity, but without jarring contrasts to its immediate neighbours.
The front facade finished in visually heavier masonry with relatively small window openings is more enclosing in appearance, while the private rear facade in mainly white render and glass opens the house to the southern sunlight, to the private rear garden and to the attractive views beyond.
Placing all family areas and most bedrooms on the warm and sunny south-facing rear side and the services and auxiliary areas on the colder north-facing front side contribute to the energy efficient floor plans. Extensive energy-saving measures include a bank photovoltaic panels supplementing the normal electricity supply and offsetting 1.5 tonnes of CO2 per year.
The interior design fit-out was carefully designed to express and complement the modern, sustainable and energy-conscious ethos of the new house. The styling and the natural materials chosen create comfortable light-filled contemporary interiors of timeless character.
