Paddington Terrace One

Confronted by a near-derelict terrace in a great location in Paddington, the owners of this project needed to completely overhaul their property to capitalise on its location. The scheme for this project involved the demolition of the rear section of the terrace, and the construction of a new two-storey building separated from the original building. A large, light-capturing courtyard linked the old and new buildings, and gave both spaces a sense of being linked to the outdoors. The harmonious connection between the old and new structures was also strengthened by the extensive use of recycled building materials - the house used recycled timbers, sandstone and steel windows.
