Architect Amos Goldreich had three clients to consider in this renovation: Graham, Steve, and the greenery they’d tended for decades.
Behind a Victorian mid-terrace house in the Stroud Green Conservation Area of Haringey, North London, Graham had spent almost three decades nurturing a lush garden oasis. The home itself, however, was far too small for him and his partner, Steve. So, they approached Amos Goldreich Architecture to expand and open up the interior, as well as create more of a connection with the carefully cultivated greenery.
The solution was a rear extension that sits in harmony with the existing house and street. An enclosed winter garden creates an unexpected retreat at the heart of the home and allows the couple to be surrounded by their plants even in bad weather.
