Rees Architects | Dollis Hill

We designed the extension and internal alterations to this Victorian terrace house. We were also responsible for planning, building regulations, interior design and kitchen design for the build.

The black metal cladding around the extension is dramatic and clearly defines the new building work from the existing. To keep the metal cladding smooth and seamless, we designed some clever invisible guttering. The result is effortlessly stylish. Detailing throughout the property helps integrate this bold statement: from the dark window frames and front door to the wood-burning stove we installed in the living room and the charcoal-coloured kitchen island against white British standard cupboards. Black and white chequerboard tiling in the hallway and first floor bathroom feels traditional but timeless. As well as contrasting white walls, natural woodwork accents throughout add softness and light.
