Goldhurst Terrace

Goldhurst Terrace
2013
This project is a basement dig under a 3 storey Edwardian house. One of the key challenges of the brief was to introduce a new kind of space for the home. Primarily the room, covering the entire floor-plate of the building, was proposed as a different kind of social space for the family.

As is typical of most period plans, there are living and dining spaces on the ground floor. The addition of the basement room adds a much larger continuous volume than is possible anywhere else in the building. As a cinema space it creates an immersive experience, as a party room it can accommodate around 50 people comfortably – unusually generous for a period home. To service this use a dedicated bar space is provided in the centre of the room whilst a gym / spare room and bathroom are also created.

The materials choice for the space was a reductive range of surfaces. White oiled oak boards connect the spaces with the material running up the walls and around the island unit. In so doing the material lends a simplicity and hierarchy to the project. Bronze plated steelwork for stair balustrading and white concrete stairs, plinth and worktops complete the muted palette.
