Claire and Tom's home

Built

Tom Cronin

The addition of a garden studio in the back garden and refurbishment of a two-storey, mid terraced, late Victorian house in Walthamstow for a couple and now their two baby twin daughters too.

Shortlisted in Don't Move, Improve! 2021

Claire & Tom wanted to improve the layout of their house, the connection with the back garden, and to create space for Claire, a clinical neuropsychologist, to work from home. They asked us to investigate adding side return or rear extensions, but eventually settled on a garden studio because it offered more opportunity to separate home and work. The studio provides another habitable space with west-facing afternoon and evening sunlight.
