Peckham House

The concept is simple and steps away from the standard ‘infill’ extension. Instead, Geoffrey Bawa was drawn upon as as a key precedent to create a sun-catching courtyard linking a sitting room, kitchen, and new office extension.

The use of domestically sourced Douglas Fir windows and the addition of a small extension brings new light into the space and created a series of new, more suitable living areas bordering two sides of the existing house.

The office forms the third side of the courtyard. It is separated from the kitchen by a sliding door, creating an independent and peaceful workspace linked by the garden.
