位于一个人口密集，繁忙的街道，靠近令人印象深刻的市政厅大楼在Walthamstow现有的露台房子可以追溯到20世纪20年代。由于两个邻居都有后部扩展（其中一个是同时建的AR），该露台的特点是几十年来，平庸的后部扩展的Hotchpotch。
居住在该物业多年的创意客户–一位插图画家和图书管理员要求DEDRAFT对他们的家进行扩建和现代化改造，以创造一个大胆的外部美学，使新的附加物与后方占主导地位的众多其他扩展物区别开来。然而，他们热衷于保留低矮的边界围栏，保持邻里之间的互动，使花园感觉不那么封闭和孤立。

Located in a densely populated, busy street close to the impressive town hall building in Walthamstow the existing terraced house dates back to the 1920s. With both neighbours having rear extensions (one being built concurrently to AR) the terrace features a hotchpotch of largely, banal rear extensions tacked on over the decades,
Having lived at the property for several years the creative clients – an illustrator and librarian asked DEDRAFT to extend and modernise their home to create a bold external aesthetic, differentiating the new additions from the multitude of other extensions that dominate the rear. They were, however, keen to retain the low-level boundary fences, maintaining neighbourly interaction and to enable the garden to feel less boxed-in and isolated.

在进行可行性研究时，确定了所有楼层的扩建潜力，鉴于现有的占地面积较小，最有效的方法是在底层增加一个全宽的单层加建，并延伸到邻居的后部加建深度。这涉及到沿着侧边回廊的长度进行填充（典型的许多伦敦L形露台），然后将其横跨花园，在相邻的加建物之间开槽。由于地块宽度较窄，有必要保持一条从前到后的单一通道，导致厨房被推到地块的外侧，有一个大的中央半岛。这些相互连接的线性空间是所有楼层的持续主题，没有线性走廊的好处。

Undertaking a feasibility study identifying the potential for expansion on all floors the most efficient approach, given the small existing footprint, was to add a full-width, single-storey addition at ground floor, extending to meet the depth of the neighbour’s rear addition. This involved infilling along the length of the side return (typical of many L-shaped London terraces) then wrapping it across the garden, slotted between the adjacent additions. With a narrow plot width, it was necessary to maintain a single through route from front to back resulting in the kitchen being pushed to the extents of the plot with a large central peninsula. These interconnecting linear spaces is a continuing theme across all floors, without the benefit of a linear hallway.

在外部，我们的客户热衷于添加一抹色彩，为后面带来对比和温暖。起初，我们在现场浇筑了一个混凝土基座，用于浇筑新的结构，并将混凝土挤压出来，形成天井饰面。然后，外部混凝土长椅沿着两边的边界伸出，折叠起来，以满足天井的完成。
我们选择了灰绿色的铝包覆表面，希望外立面更有表现力，在典型的金属包覆系统的浅层普通立缝基础上，增加了包覆系统的深度。这种增加的深度适用于垂直翅片、门洞以及细长的护栏细节。这个简单的细节增加了节奏感，夸大了外墙的深度，使其在一天中捕捉到不同的光线。与木/铝复合窗系统相配合，漆面天然松木内部的木梁与外露的道格拉斯冷杉屋顶托梁共同作用，进一步增加了外部皮肤的深度。这些托梁不间断地滑过屋顶开口，为内部厨房/餐厅空间投下阴影，引导人们看到后花园。

Externally our client was keen to add a flourish of colour to bring contrast and warmth to the rear. Initially, an in-situ concrete plinth was cast to ground the new structure and the concrete extruded out to form the patio finish. External concrete benches then project running along both boundaries, folding down to meet the patio finish.
Opting for a dusty green aluminium clad finish we wanted the facade to be more expressive, detailing a cladding system with an increased depth to the shallow generic standing-seam of typical metal-cladding systems. This increased depth applies to vertical fins, the door opening as well as the slender parapet detail. This simple detail adds rhythm, exaggerating the depth that articulates the facade catching the light differently throughout the day. Aligned with the composite timber/aluminium window system the lacquered natural pine internal mullions add further depth to the external skin, working together with the exposed structural Douglas Fir roof joists. These joists slide unbroken across rooflight openings, casting shadows to the internal kitchen /dining space directing ones view out over the rear garden.

室内采用了大规格的混凝土地砖。裸露的叠合浅灰色混凝土块包围着底层墙壁，形成了定制的浅灰色和桦木胶合板无把手厨房的背景。简单的细木工细节已被突出，以显示简单的层压细节，无缝的可丽耐工作台面提供了一个柔软和干净的表面，而不是压倒紧凑的空间。为了保持柔和的色调，在建造过程中省略了一些门衬细节，以避免视觉上的过度。
在一楼，为了更有效地利用空间，对内墙进行了重新配置，拆除了一个没有窗户的中央卫生间，并为推到后面的一个新的自然采光卫生间腾出了空间。这个家庭浴室的特点是采用了非常简单的材料调色板，大小不一的亚光绿色瓷砖，定制的可丽耐面盆和梳妆台以及亚光黑色饰面的黄铜器皿。
一个新的双层高度的空间也形成了中央，其中插入了一个新的橡木楼梯，提供了进入改造后的阁楼空间。一个大的过梁屋顶采光，然后通过一个大的内部窗户进入主空间。阁楼是客户的插画工作室，在后面整合了一个光线充足的阅读室，其美学效果与底层加建的漆面天然松木内部木梁相呼应。为了更好地适应工作室图书馆的比例，我们在前斜屋顶上增设了一个以景观形式插入的电动天窗，其特点是定制的办公桌空间和整个书架，以存放客户大量的书籍和小雕像收藏。

The interior is muted with large format, concrete floor tiles. exposed stack-bonded light-grey concrete blocks enveloping the ground floor walls, forming a backdrop for the bespoke light-grey and birch plywood handle-less kitchen. Simple joinery details have been highlighted to show simple ply lamination details with the seamless Corian worktops providing a soft and clean surface, not overpowering the compact space. To maintain the muted palette some door lining details were omitted during the build to avoid what would have been visually excessive.
To the first floor, the internal walls were reconfigured to make more efficient use of the space, removing a window-less central bathroom and freeing up space for a new naturally-lit bathroom pushed to the rear. This family bathroom features a very simple palette of materials with matt-green tiles of varying sizes, bespoke Corian basin and vanity and brassware in a matt black finish.
A new double-height space was also formed centrally into which a new oak staircase was inserted providing access to the converted loft space. A large oversailing rooflight admits natural light which then finds its way to the main space via a large internal window. The loft houses the clients’ illustration studio, integrating a well-lit reading room to the rear, with an aesthetic that echos the lacquered natural pine internal mullions of the ground floor addition. An additional electric rooflight inserted in landscape format to the front pitched roof was incorporated to better suit the proportions of the studio library, that features a bespoke desk space and shelving throughout housing the clients’ extensive book and figurine collection.
