Courtyard Pavilion.

Islington | London

The proposals include the formation of a two-storey rear extension, garden studio and landscaping.

The addition firstly meant the lower apartment could be reconfigured to form a two-bedroom apartment with two bathrooms with rooms of appropriate and proportionate scale with one another. Above this the upper apartment kitchen was remodelled and extended into the new modern style conservatory addition. The new garden studio and sunken courtyard complete the transformation.

“I get joy from walking into the extension every morning. The view over the garden and how the house now feels connected and tied into the greenery and the garden building gives me such enjoyment, and the beauty of it still surprises me.  The project has made a huge difference to the way we enjoy and use our house and garden, and I often think how lucky I am to live in a house like this. Michael and the team managed to create space and usability from a small footprint, difficult configuration and strict planning restrictions, and figured out a way to give us the size of kitchen we were looking for, as well as outside living space and a successful connection to the garden. A huge success all round!”
