Clay House / Studio 163 Architects

When Studio 163 were approached to transform this ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Kentish Town into a bright and modern two-bedroom flat, it was a very dark and damp space which lacked flow and visual connection. The bedroom and bathroom were both at the rear of the property with the kitchen and living room space at the front. This created the awkward result of having to walk through the bedroom to reach the garden. It was very important to the architects that the new space reflects the character of the client and her way of living - to create a space for entertaining and socializing as well as a peaceful garden for this aspiring landscape designer. She was also very mindful of repurposing what she had and making sustainable choices.
