wt architecture - William Tunnell
On site in 2009 this small but complex project connects a vaulted basement into the ground floor space above. The vault is being cut into for a new staircase and light chutes. A new living/kitchen space will be created at ground floor level and two bedrooms and a bathroom in the vault below.
The breaking up of the vault is accentuated with stepped floor levels and sections of glazed floor, to give a sense of a fractured ground revealing the otherwise hidden vaults beneath. The remaining vault will be left exposed to contrast with the pristine new finishes. Internal translucent glass screens also allow light to be borrowed from one space to another. The tattered frontage of the existing property is also to be restored.
