This project on Brick Lane, Tower Hamlets was for further works to a house refurbished by a previous client. The existing low ceilinged, damp cellar has been extended and refurbished to add further usable space to the home. The distinctive material palette and character of the existing property was used to inform the look and feel of the new basement spaces. Daylight is brought in through a new walk on glass panel at ground floor level. The work had to be done carefully to protect the existing home, a particular challenge being to remove sections of the polished concrete floor and repairing the existing under floor heating system. Some general refurbishment works were also undertaken to the upper floor living spaces and roof terraces.
