Herne Hill House / TYPE

Architectural studio TYPE has unveiled a distinct and characterful extension to an end-of-terrace, Victorian three-storey house in Herne Hill, south London. The airy and light-filled 45m2 rear and side extension replace a draughty and cold conservatory in the south-facing garden. It carefully defines three distinct ground-floor spaces for cooking, dining, and relaxing within a single room. Key to the project is an elemental use of self-finished materials that are inherently beautiful and practical.
