Brabourn Grove

At Christmas 2019, it became clear to Emily and Ian that their Victorian property was too small. There was not enough space to host parties, nor a quiet corner to enjoy a glass of rosé. The extension has been carefully set back to create an additional east-facing facade, drawing light into the dining area and opening up views to the garden. The kitchen is neatly framed by a courtyard, connecting the front room with the extension. Towards the neighbouring properties, a curved junction transitions between the different heights of the extension. The walls are constructed in pale brick with punched oak-framedopenings. Internally the elegant material palette is continuedby using oak, concrete and curved plasterwork. The courtyardbrings the design language of the exterior into the house.
