The project is a series of interventions on a 1960’s semi-detached house for a family in Folkestone. The ground floor has been opened up to form a singular room for everyday life with a supplementary hidden space to serve the houses utilities. Existing windows have been enlarged and simplified to provide the space with a greater presence of natural light. The space was designed to be practical for the family but to also present and view a small collection of art.
