    Removing a poorly laid out 1970s addition, O’Sullivan Skoufoglou Architects have introduced a highly-crafted solution to this north London townhouse.

    The owners hoped for a unified space that connected with the garden—and what better way than to use a tried and trusted natural material? From the windows to the walls, O’Sullivan Skoufoglou Architects have dressed the addition in buttery timber, sourced from a family-run workshop who fabricated and pre-assembled the material. But it doesn’t stop there—all of the furniture and storage are made from wood. In the garden, the timber is a warm contrast from the century-old brickwork, and is encased by new ‘London stock’ brick walls, that are designed to age just as the old.

    This piece originally appeared in est magazine issue 30.

    “The new addition emphasises the connection with the garden by incorporating the dining area into the facade of deep vertical fins, which allow direct views out, yet sideways privacy.”

    – Amalia Skoufoglou, director of O’Sullivan Skoufoglou Architects
