House for a filmmaker
An extension and full refurbishment to a Victorian semi in South London, providing a calm, minimalist back drop to promote creativity and relaxation
The owner, when not on set, works from home and wanted a space that flowed across the house.
The generous proportions of the existing house are combined with the extension to give a large open plan space for the kitchen, dining and living spaces. There are annexed rooms off this larger space: a library, gym, steam room and a cinema room for the client to work from home.
Tying the new to the existing is an arched form that carries through from the arch of the front entrance porch through to the extension space and framing the view to the rear window. The arched form is accented with a muted green colour and a continuing palette of muted colours extends in the hallway with the marble floor and to the artworks chosen for the spaces.
