Over 100m2 of space has been added to this large family home on Highbury Hill, London N5.
As well as excavation and conversion of the basement into a large living space with utility, the ground floor conversion has extended the kitchen to the side of the house, creating a delightful private courtyard and a light and spacious, lantern-like dining room.

The palette of the materials includes fine, metal-framed windows, exposed brickwork, timber joists and a parquet floor. A custom-made timber kitchen creates an elegant, robust space for the family or for larger scale gatherings and parties.
At roof level, a dormer conversion with full width windows and large frameless rooflights creates a dramatic light-filled space for our clients to work with views out to the old Arsenal Stadium and East London beyond.
