The site occupies the top floor and roof terrace of a 1960s office/residential block in the West End of London.
The work included demolishing and reconfiguring the accommodation on the eighth floor of the building to create a kitchen, two bedrooms and bathrooms and a large living/dining area. A rich palette of materials was deployed to introduce light and texture from the perimeter to the centre of the flat.
A new roof extension in the form of a glass pavilion houses the client's home office on the ninth floor. The pavilion's full-height glass panels offer panoramic views across the roofscapes of central London. A short flight of steps leads from the glass pavilion to the landscaped roof terrace below. Materials used in the glass pavilion were more restrained to complement the rich vistas that surround it.
