UK based architecture firm,\u00a0Paul McAneary Architects<\/a>\u00a0have\u00a0remodelled\u00a0a Edwardian terrace house<\/a> located in the Hammersmith area in London.\u00a0According to the architects, “This three bedroom two\u00a0story\u00a0house was in a decrepit state and in need of considerable refurbishment and modernisation. The client asked for a contemporary design and functionality and he also expressed the desire to be able to perceive the garden as a continuation of the domestic\u00a0space\u00a0rather than ‘the outdoor’. The concept driving the whole design is a 30 degree twist that allows physical and perceptive overlapping between the indoor and the outdoor\u00a0spaces\u00a0that dramatically improves the natural lighting into the house.<\/p>\n

In terms of spatial composition, there are two driving forces that compete and finally coexist: the kitchen-living area expands and transforms the external landscape, whilst the natural vegetation surrounds and perceptively invades the domestic space through the\u00a0frame less\u00a0glass skylight and open\u00a0fa\u00e7ade. The angle facilitates the overlap between the garden and kitchen thresholds-so whilst at the sink you feel the garden is actually behind you. This conceptual idea is manifest in the details of the faceted zinc\u00a0fa\u00e7ade\u00a0anf the floating external deck, being cut back to a fine angle edge.”<\/p>\n
