Kirkstall Avenue, in North London, includes the reconfiguration of a ground floor victorian terrace dwelling to provide a second bedroom and an enlarged family room that contains a secret courtyard.

The north facing extension has a bright interior with the white stained oak floor, the white painted concrete block and painted timber roof catching the daylight. 

The new kitchen, dining and living space have been organised around the retained brick pier creating moments of connection and separation between cooking, eating, sitting and playing.
