Alwyne Place
London, United Kingdom
Alwyne Place is an impressive semi-detached Victorian villa located on a quiet tree-lined street in the Canonbury Conservation Area of Islington, London. The brief was simple — to bring light into the building and restore some of its former historic elegance. In addition, a generous extension was designed to give the client more space and “open up” the rear of the property to the garden.
Rather than design the extension to be in keeping with the existing home, the design aims to contrast the historic with the modern. A Staffordshire slate blue smooth brick was chosen to exaggerate the prominence of the extension on the rear elevation, the deep blue color providing a crisp line between the new brickwork and glazing and the original weathered yellow stock.
Sitting a little wider than the average similar-sized property in Islington provided the opportunity to introduce large format, thin framed sliding doors across part of the new rear extension elevation. Located above the doors is a large walk-on glass roof with access from the upper ground floor. Providing an abundance of light, the glass roof creates the connection between the upper ground floor formal living room and the less formal dining and lounge space below.
The project won 2013 Brick Awards for best renovation.
