An ambitious approach for extending and updating this small and unremarkable 1950's infill terraced house in Peckham to create a more usable kitchen and dining area with a better connection to the rear garden. Taking inspiration from the Case Study Houses of the 1950s, as well as traditional and contemporary Japanese domestic architecture, nimtim proposed an addition formed of a series of lightweight timber portals running both front to back and side to side. The timber structure defines a series of openings along the roof and onto the rear garden. This grid extends through the house and out into the garden; blurring the threshold between inside and out.
