Red brick
Rooted in its industrial surroundings, Red Brick is a bold expression of raw materials and honest craftsmanship. Exposed red brickwork, polished concrete floors, and open rafters celebrate the beauty of structure, creating a space that feels both robust and refined. The design embraces an authentic, warehouse-inspired aesthetic while balancing warmth and functionality, resulting in a home that is as striking as it is enduring.
Home improvement
A contemporary rear extension and house renovation in London, Red Brick transforms an existing home with a carefully considered red-brick addition that brings more light, space and character to the ground floor.
The design balances modern living with the architectural language of the existing house, using warm brickwork and carefully proportioned openings to create a seamless connection between old and new. The result is a light-filled, practical family home with a strong relationship to the garden.
maximalist aims on a budget
Completed on a tight construction budget, the project demonstrates how thoughtful residential architecture and house extensions in London can deliver a significant improvement to a home without unnecessary complexity or cost.
