Two And A Half Storey House

The project was completed for a family having a second baby on the way and didn’t want to move from their two bedroom home, located on a housing estate in Stoke Newington. After unsuccessful attempts to get planning for a new full-height roof extension, the solution was to work within Permitted Development guidelines and add a half-height box dormer, invisible from the street. The challenge was to make the unconventional interior volumes habitable. This was solved, by stacking the two bedrooms, one above another, interlocking like 3d Tetris blocks, providing enough space for an additional room.
