Whittlesey Street House


A contemporary extension
With all these UK posts, one might think we're turning into L+L London (hmmm, there's an idea). Well, here's yet another UK blog. In the same vain as the Fold House this traditional Waterloo home gets a clean modern addition.
"The garden extension to this grade II listed building in Waterloo is a simple pattern of solid and glazed panels repeating the original openings of the rear façade which are then repeated in reverse on the roof. The additional floor space extends the family living area and acts as an open connection between kitchen and dining area. The works also included lowering the existing semi-basement to create a utility room, storage and study and refurbishment of the house throughout."

This extension is just plain heavy in design, and doesn't match the lightness of design of the original house. Take a dive!
