Fin House

Built

Agnese Sanvito

The project involves extensions to the rear, side and loft of a Victorian terraced house, as well as a complete internal reconstruction.

Featured in Don't Move, Improve! 2021

The stepped massing at the rear of the house is the result of planning restrictions regarding the height of the side extension. Vertical oak fins on the rear elevation provide privacy as well as solar shading to the southeast-facing facade. In contrast with the natural finish on the ground floor, the fins at loft level are stained black, so the extension reads as part of the roof form.
