Fold House


A steel and glass extension of a traditional home
Designed by London based Canadian architect Alison Brooks, designed this simple and refined addition to a Victorian terraced house.

The existing kitchen was remodeled and expanded outward to include new dining and living areas within the bronze and glass Miesean pavilion. The concept is of a repeatedly folded plane of bronze which defines the space and frames views of the garden. Two of the glazed walls can be opened completely to create a seamless indoor/outdoor space.

It would have been nice to have been credited as the main contractor for constructing this project
