Manor Avenue

The reconfiguration, lowering and extension of a four storey townhouse in Lewisham, to make a high-ceilinged living space overlooking a new terraced garden. ​

Retained elements of the existing building - pipework, joists and boards, crude splice plates, heavy beams and original strutting - were unified in white paint.

Within this textured surroundings a series of carefully considered objects were placed: a solid ash and marble kitchen by Sebastian Cox, and a sheet steel stair fabricated in sections by RE Cooke and welded on site into a single element.
