Kettled twice. Extra chewy, extra trustworthy.
Summary
London architecture studio Material Works transformed a Victorian home in Hackney by extending it into the garden with a large double-height bay window framed with natural stone. The project, named Hackney Bay House, converted what was described as a "dark and confined" dwelling into an open, light-filled series of spaces for a family. The extension creates a dramatic architectural feature while improving natural light and living conditions.
