A HIGHER PERSPECTIVE
This beautiful terrace house is located in the middle of two long rows, with ample outdoor space and unobstructed light hitting the back. The frontage though, would have you believing that it was indistinct; flat and concrete, the owners wanted more dimension and greenery. Inside, they wanted more natural light and character plus an extension leading into a convivial outdoor space and a loft built for longevity.
Kitchen - Natural light
With the garden facing west, we placed a long rooflight that is east-facing and on the vertical into the extension’s roof. This behaves like a lightbox, capturing light and reflecting it off the kitchen’s back wall. Hidden in a recess, it gives the impression that the space is just naturally light. The extra bit of ceiling height helps create this trick of the eye. It also casts shadows on the walls as the day progresses, complementing the light coming from the glass doors onto the garden.
