Matthew Giles Architects
Situated within the characterful Mount Park Conservation area, Matthew Giles Architects have imaginatively reworked a 5 bedroom Victorian house to allow it to meet the changing demands of family life. A new kitchen and dining space sits alongside revisions to the internal layout at the ground and first floor levels creating a series of interconnected spaces. The grandeur of the rear elevation has been enhanced by the fair-faced concrete extension that makes subtle references to garden pavilion forms. The off-white concrete adds brilliance to the rear elevation and pleasing contrast to the rustic, earthy tones of the original London stock brickwork. The terrace further extends the use of the outdoor spaces. The garden pavilion creates a sculptural and dynamic backdrop for socialising and enjoying a retreat in nature.
