O'Sullivan Skoufoglou Architects adds "simple, warm and characterful" extension to London house
O'Sullivan Skoufoglou Architects has extended a typical terraced home in northwest London, by adding a new timber-lined room that opens onto a brick-paved garden.
The Dewsbury Road extension was designed by locally based O'Sullivan Skoufoglou Architects to replace a 1970s addition at the rear of a property in Dollis Hill, which had split the kitchen and dining area into two separate rooms.
A large opening looks out onto the garden, which is accessible through a glazed door to one side of the new space. A pair of hinged panels at either end of the room can also be opened to allow fresh air to circulate.
Wood is used throughout the interior, for flooring, ceilings and built-in storage units that bookend the space, creating a sense of warmth and enclosure.
The light tone and subtle grain of the timber is complemented by a pale stone countertop, with a black basin mixer, stovetop and cabinet handles punctuating the uniform palette.
The extension is topped with a black metal roof punctured by a skylight that allows natural light to filter down between the ceiling beams to illuminate the dining area.
All of the timber elements were fabricated and preassembled by a family-run workshop. Connections between the various modules were designed in such a way that they could be transported to the site and easily slotted back together.
