Amos Goldreich ArchitectureAmos Goldreich Architecture has completed an asymmetric brick extension that celebrates light and modern life for a young family in North London. The new layout gives the family distinct kitchen, dining and relaxation zones, and views to the large rear garden from numerous angles within the home.
The owners wanted to update the property in a way that would maximise the available space and reconnect different areas while leaving them clearly defined. Rather than building the common, open box extension, Amos Goldreich Architecture created distinctly separate yet connected spaces both externally and internally using an asymmetric form united by pale white bricks.
Previously the rear plan of the house was divided into a kitchen, dining room and conservatory. The kitchen and dining room were very dark; the kitchen was incredibly narrow and the late 90’s UPVC conservatory was thermally inefficient. Bringing in natural light and creating views into the garden where the clients’ children often spend time playing were both important elements of the brief. Amos Goldreich Architecture designed a large X by X metre box window in the centre of the sitting room that offers views from both the sitting area and dining table, meaning the clients can keep an eye on the children while working or relaxing.
Amos Goldreich Architecture enlivened and lightened the home by working with materials that encourage the diffusion of light throughout the spaces. Exposed timber rafters create a clever shelving screen, functioning both as open storage and a permeable room divider to maintain the connection between the sitting area and kitchen. A deep blue kitchen with plywood handle detailing creates balance and contrast against the light tones of the pale timber and white walls.
The new extension is clad in white bricks which help to bounce light around the new interiors, emphasise the freshness and newness, and create a clear, distinct separation from the existing part of the late Victorian semi-detached London home. Brick continues to make an impact in the patio area where Amos Goldreich Architecture chose to use Stone Grey brick pavers for their muted tones and durability. A sedum roof spans the entire extension giving a beautiful view from the first floor bedrooms. The sedum roof also acts to encourage biodiversity and collect rainwater.

Amos Goldreich, Director of Amos Goldreich Architecture says:
“The Framework House was a fantastic project to work on with our clients. We thought carefully about the space planning to ensure we met the brief for distinct zones, while also keeping a connection to the outdoors and others in the space.
“The materials of the project also had to marry with the new plan. We chose to keep the interiors fresh, calm, and clean so our clients could adapt their future interior design choices easily without the need to renovate the space again.”
Clients, Tom and Jennifer Allen say:
“I couldn’t have envisioned having a space like this. It has completely changed the way we live as a family for the better. We are more connected, yet also have our own spaces to work, eat, play, learn and relax.”
“The extension has had an impact on the entire house. When our son looks out of his window on the first floor, he sees a beautiful planted roof that merges with the garden.”
Maurine Bellier - Architecte d’intérieurCet appartement à entièrement été créé et viabilisé à partir de combles vierges. Ces larges espaces sous combles étaient tellement vastes que j'ai pu y implanter deux appartements de type 2. Retrouvez son jumeau dans un tout autre style nommé NATURAL dans la catégorie projets.
Pour la rénovation de cet appartement l'enjeu était d'optimiser les espaces tout en conservant le plus de charme et de cachet possible. J'ai donc sans hésité choisi de laisser les belles poutres de la charpente apparentes ainsi qu'un mur de brique existant que nous avons pris le soin de rénover.
L'ajout d'une claustras sur mesure nous permet de distinguer le coin TV du coin repas.
La large cuisine installée sous un plafond cathédrale nous offre de beaux et lumineux volumes : mission réussie pour les propriétaires qui souhaitaient proposer un logement sous pentes sans que leurs locataires se sentent oppressés !
Ergo Designer Kitchens and CabinetryBlue is a notice-me hue – that's why we're obsessed with kitchen cabinets in the ultra-popular colour. The navy blue makes every room look elegant and classy. Forget upper cabinets! Kitchens with open shelving tend to open up a kitchen and make it feel ten times larger than it actually is. That’s why they work wonderfully in smaller kitchen spaces. Open shelves are a unique way to showcase your house or kitchen items and brings dimension to the room. This custom designed kitchen (designed, manufactured and installed by the Ergo Designer Kitchens team) features PG Bison Petrol-blue cabinets, copper handles, Connection Quartz Sabbia Bianca (white) countertops, and white and blue-green subway tiles.
