Hugo’s House / Ian Moore Architects

This project involved alterations and additions to one of a row of 6 identical Victorian terrace houses, which have a cross stair between the two original bedrooms on the upper level. The cross stair typology makes opening up the front two rooms on the lower level to form a large living and dining space more difficult, so it was decided instead to create more living space in a new rear extension. The former rear extension, containing the kitchen and laundry had a poor connection to the rear courtyard and was demolished to make way for a new extension, which also included a new bedroom on the upper level.
