Hartley House is the reworking of a Victorian terraced house, reviving the dark and cramped ground floor of the property into an airy and comfortable family space using an approach of spatial intelligence and creative reconfiguration rather than extending.
The work involved opening up the back of the existing house and borrowing space from outside by installing a cantilevered dining bench framed by three oversized douglas fir sash windows that flood the open plan kitchen with natural light. A new small WC and utility room was installed in the centre of the ground floor plan off the hallway. The rest of the house has been restored back to its original condition, becoming a restful and colour filled space.
