Claire and Tom's Home

This project is an addition of a garden studio and refurbishment of a two-storey, mid-terraced, late Victorian house in Walthamstow for a young family. The clients, Claire & Tom wanted to improve the layout of their house, the connection with the back garden, and to create space for Claire, a clinical neuropsychologist, to work from home. The clients asked the architects to investigate adding side return or rear extensions, but eventually settled on a garden studio as it offered more opportunity to separate home and work. The studio provides another habitable space with west-facing afternoon and evening sunlight.
