Renovation of a Locally Listed Georgian Home in Hackney

Hackney, London 2022

Nestled on a narrow plot overlooking a common in Hackney, this is an ongoing project that carefully transforms a locally listed three-storey house through thoughtful extension and interior development. This renovation maximises light and an illusion of space while retaining the building's original character. The existing terrace is situated on a narrow plot overlooking a common in Hackney, London.

The existing terrace sits on a narrow plot overlooking a common in Hackney, London. The building has undergone a meticulous renovation to create an open ground floor that seamlessly connects with a terrace overlooking the garden beyond. Sleeping accommodation is provided on the lower ground floor, adjoined to a garden room. A master suite is incorporated within the existing first-floor rooms, while a new roof extension provides additional multi-purpose space.

The main house has been refurbished with an emphasis on retaining its original features and characterful materials. Similar, yet new, materials are introduced into the extension with contemporary detailing. These, along with strategically placed mirrors and skylights, create a generous illusion of space.
