Vulcan Terrace is a 2 storey side extension to a modest Victorian house located in the Brockley conservation area in South London. It provides a studio space and a bathroom at ground floor level, future-proofing the house for the new owner Wendy, who moved to be closer to her grand-children, and a writing room on a mezzanine overlooking a double height volume. The client - Wendy, an artist, writer and fine arts lecturer, appointed Atelier Baulier to provide the spaces allowing her to practice art. The new volume reuses the footprint of a former lean-to garage just under 2 metres in width by 8 meters long. The extension reaches up for daylight, channelling it down into the existing house through a central opening connecting the spaces.
