Unfinished House

A house for a collector couple and their six cats, built with the ambition to achieve spatial variety through material reduction. The new extension is formed with plain off-the-shelf construction materials, with stepping floors and ceilings that create a dynamic feeling of height and space. The existing house was refurbished by removing and repairing existing elements and finishes giving unexpected character and texture in each room. These plain and rough surfaces are a foil for the brightly coloured and intricate collection of street art figurines, and the numerous recycled lights and fittings sourced by the client.
