The Dulwich House - Exterior

The client wanted to extend the living spaces and re-fit out the first and second floor levels of the building. The brief was to extend to the rear, but only minimally - to avoid encroaching and losing too much garden space. From the outside we wanted to use the existing material palette of the house with the form of the rich red brick that forms decorative features around the original house. The original arched windows have influenced the use of arched windows in a green to face onto the garden. The strength of the extension is in its simple materiality and references to the original house.
