Spitalfields House

Motivated by the desire to create a dream home without needing to move away from aging relatives, the works have completely transformed the simple and unassuming existing end-of-terrace host building. When viewed from the surrounding streetscape, the project's refined but modest exterior conceals a rich inner life. Inherent to the project brief was a vision of the client to achieve overlapping spatial narratives that could at once promote relaxation and repose, space for reverence and prayer combined with minimal living, and inherent flexibility for future changes of use pattern and growth of the family. The scheme design consists of a warm palate of raw materials and has been designed to promote flexibility and to remain clutter-free in practice despite day-to-day family requirements.
