Ebenezer House is a house extension project by Studio Bark. It is home to a professional couple situated inside a conservation area near Bow’s historic Roman Road.
Studio Bark had a brief to extend the existing half basement. They also undertook remodelling the ground floor, allowing for an additional guest bedroom, bathroom and an open plan kitchen with dining space.
The rear of the property was a semi basement. Therefore, finding a way to maximise natural light was a key to the success of the project. Studio Bark took inspiration from the existing butterfly roof which is visible from the rear of the property. The windows that have high-level perimeter are angled inwards. This allows light to enter whilst maintaining a consistent parapet on the outside.
