We are undertaking a complete refurbishment of a two-storey Victorian house in Queens Park that has been abandoned for the past fifthneen years. Our goal is to design and develop the property for resale.
With no clients commissioning the work and having found a house that had been abandoned for fifthneen years, we drew inspiration from how plants and vegetation had populated and inhabited the space before our arrival.
Bordered by the Overground railway line and adjacent dwellings, the site boundary was enhanced, providing a private enclosure within which interior and landscaping are carefully orchestrated to soften the relationship between inside and outside. Two extension blocks are the key architectural elements, divided by a full height entrance door which marks the threshold between the bedrooms and utility spaces arranged to the front of the property, and the living area opening to the garden.
