Modernism with heart

Kirkwood Road

A typical Peckham three bed Victorian terraced house with a long, long garden is transformed by an open-plan modern space at the rear that embraces the garden, and a planted courtyard shared with the neighbour.

Floor to ceiling glazing, polished concrete floors, a judiciously placed rooflight, a linear kitchen, a corner fireplace: these architectural elements are deftly balanced to create a bright, expansive kitchen/dining/living room. At the back of the garden, a timber studio provides a homeworking space and a secure bike lock up.
