New London Architecture

Glyn House

Built

Designed with a meticulous palette of materials, brutalist tendencies found in shapes such as the capsule window and with natural light as the main prism through which all elements get amplified.

Glyn House aimed to improve the usability of the rear part of a property that felt disconnected and disruptive to the flow of family life. The design focuses on creating a bright kitchen/dining space with framed views of the garden, while keeping a much-needed connection to the front living area through a sculptural double-arch window. When open, the bottom half brings both spaces together while the top half opens to the outside. A carefully selected palette of materials provides earthy hues that are amplified when natural light hits each surface, making the experience of the space unique.
