Insights

Located with the Dulwich Estate and in Dulwich Village Conservation Area, this modest Victorian cottage underwent a full refurbishment & extension.

In it, a pair of perforated brick panels connect the considered interiors with its garden.

“We hired Ash to help renovate our home. He made the whole design process really hands on an engaging for us. Taking our ideas, offering his own insights and also making us think carefully about the decisions we made. The working relationship was really inclusive and fun.”

― Dwayne & andrew

The clients loved their garden and so our strategy was to move the kitchen to the front of the garden, allowing for a generous living area opening on to the lush garden

We were keen to maximise the sense of space by connecting the rear extension with the garden. The perforated brick panels modulate the vew and throw patterns of light across the room. They also allowed a secure method to continuously ventilate the house in the summer.

Colour was the central theme in the design of this house, from the orange door against the muted grey brick to the bold blocks of green and blue that lead you through the spaces.
