Kelross Road

Location: Islington, London

Sector: Residential

Status: Built

New extensions to the rear garden and rooftop, alongside extensive layout alterations and facade decoration, help provide much needed space for a young family to thrive. The renovations have brought life to an outdated property and ensured continued enjoyment for the future.

The open plan ground floor is filled with natural light from the large frameless rooflight and full height sliding doors. The new sun filled seating area can be entirely opened to the outdoors, creating strong connections between house and garden.

Intelligent incorporation of hidden service and utility areas allow prioritised use of space for social interaction and enjoyment.

The re-arranged staircase provides access to an airy master bedroom with luxurious ensuite, walk-in dressing and tree top views from the glazed Juliet balcony.

Considered details such as charred timber cladding, bespoke metal flashing and subtly positioned structure, all help create a house that promotes the joy and wellbeing of its inhabitants.
