Victoria Road Private Home, London, United Kingdom. Architect: ob-a, 2012. Cladding abstract.

---

The property is a two-bedroom ground floor flat in a Victorian terraced house. At the point at which the client bought the property, the flat was barely liveable. The configuration of the main living spaces was awkward and turned its back to the garden at the rear. The brief was to refurbish and reconfigure the entire flat in a way that re-established the connections from front to back by framing selected views. The client wished to keep two bedrooms but also establish clearly defined areas for cooking and dining as well as creating a snug for relaxing. The new black timber extension accommodates the snug, which together with the dining area, ‘hangs’ off the central kitchen. The large bay window provides the main view through to the back of the garden, accentuating the long rectangular nature of this terraced plot.
