Internal re-modeling and extension of a ground floor apartment to allow a growing family in north west London to work from home. The 45msq extension houses areas for dining, living and two separate studies. The non-orthogonal plan derives from limits set by planning law, massaged to maximise volume, light and views through the open spaces to the garden and the sky. Simple adjustments to existing doorways cut long views through the apartment connecting front and back gardens. Large sliding wooden panels separate studies from living areas as required. The work stages were planned to allow occupation throughout construction.
