This Luminous 430-Square-Foot Extension to a London House Is Peak Efficiency
Briefly

A couple wanted a contemporary design for their Victorian home and enlisted Pensaer Studio to create a 430-square-foot extension. Previously, a cramped kitchen was transformed into a spacious, airy area that includes the kitchen, dining, and living spaces with garden views. The design focuses on creating defined intimate areas instead of larger open spaces, preserving much of the garden. Custom furniture enhances the calm atmosphere, using materials free from chemicals for a healthier living environment.
The interior is designed to offer a sense of calm, sophistication, and warmth. The cozy feel of finishes like oak contrast with the polished concrete floor and the integrated woodwork elements encourage the connection between the home's owners and the space.
We chose this route rather than creating larger open expanses that, while they would offer greater flexibility, would also take up more area. The result is a very defined set of intimate spaces that allowed almost all of the garden to be preserved.
