Space exploration in Hackney
September 25th, 2009 by Tim RileyAs the walls begin to be boarded up some of the key design ideas, previously restricted to sketches and models, can now be experienced in person. The images below best describe the principle ideas.
From the kitchen and dining space one can experience a panoramic view of the garden. To ensure this is unbroken the outer frame of the sliding folding doors will be concealed so that once fully open the view will be entirely unobstructed.
The connection to the garden and the procession of distinctive spaces was of particular importance and this image demonstrates how successful this has been. Views from the Sitting room at the front of the house are possible through to the rear garden, passing through the living room, courtyard and then the kitchen/dining room with clear thresholds between.
The extension is in matching brick to the original house and on the same line to create an interesting rear elevation with a large apparently gravity defying opening.
