Structure studio Proctor & Shaw has topped a house extension with a steeply-angled roof clad with purple pigmented zinc in East Dulwich, London.
Residence to a household of seven, Proctor & Shaw designed the mission as an extension to an present Edwardian home, extending the ground-floor kitchen and eating room.
With a view to prohibit potential onlooking from neighbours, the studio crafted a novel serrated-edged roof with uncovered rafter tails to run alongside the extension – enhancing each privateness and daylight entry.
“From the facet, the serrated edge blocks indirect views from the principal first-floor neighbouring home windows,” Proctor & Shaw director John Proctor informed Dezeen. “It’s designed to be pulled again (with the shortest overhang) on the mid-window level to permit the utmost quantity of sunshine immediately from above.”
A newly constructed porcelain-tiled residing area sits adjoining to the kitchen and eating room and can also be sheltered by the roof’s giant overhangs.
Deep skylights punctured into the roof draw daylight into the area under, whereas sliding doorways seamlessly join the inside with an out of doors patio.
The inside area is outlined by kitchen items and seating lined with warm-toned Douglas fir, that are contrasted by cool-toned concrete flooring and counter tops.
A centralised providers unit nestled behind the kitchen gives a toilet and utility area outlined by daring, pink-hued partitions and matching flooring tiles.
Constructed right into a sloping web site, stage adjustments pose as thresholds – dividing the open-plan inside and exterior areas.
Externally, metallic steps lead all the way down to the landscaped backyard, which contains a paved outside kitchen, seating space and outbuilding, designed in collaboration with Barbara Samitier Backyard Design.
Based on the studio, drainage from the gutter-less zinc roof, in addition to the house’s present pitched roof, is offered at floor stage to permit for a finely detailed roof edge.
“[The gutter-less roof] required cautious navigation of regulatory necessities for rainwater drainage, which was finally achieved with the facet roofs being stored small,” Proctor stated.
Different London house extensions accomplished by Proctor & Shaw embrace a glazed extension added to Sky Lantern Home and a micro-apartment with a translucent “sleeping cocoon”.
