A Victorian terraced house in south London has been transformed into a home and a gallery to allow a couple to live side by side with their eclectic and evolving collection of objects, artworks and artefacts. Rather than adding a contemporary surface that would mask the history of the building, the practice opted to make a set of new insertions to engage and reveal the existing fabric of the house.
The project has been realised in two phases, the house refurbishment and then a Reading Room in the loft conversion.
In its refurbished state, the building exudes multiple layers of meanings and associations. Dissecting the anatomy of the house effectively puts it on display, highlighting the narrative of its construction and connecting the lives of the inhabitants both past and present. Contained in this idea of evolution is the acceptance that the changes that have been made to the property are only a fleeting moment in its history and that they too will be adapted and eventually overcome, absorbed back into the fabric of the building like footprints in a landscape.
