Elmbank House
Rear Extension
The property is a Victorian mid-terraced, two storey, 3 bed room house, Built in rick work which form an 'M’ type butterfly roof .
The property consists of an L shaped footprint with along two storey projected rear building. The house is very narrow and internal walls block the flow of move and light and there was limited access to the garden.
The owner wishes to improve the property by erecting a roof extension at second floor level in the shape of a mansard and to have a side return in the form of ‘lean-to-roof’ at ground level along the rear projected wing.
A large open plan living space was created by opening up the front and rear reception rooms with new side infill space, providing ample living and family gathering space for our client’s young child and unborn baby.
A fully glazed skylight to the side extension allows for increased light levels and improved connections between the spaces linking the front of the house to the rear garden with side bench seating area along the new frank wall.
To rear facade, A large glass pivoting window enables people can seat from in and out of the house enjoying reading and dinning.
A calm material palette of reclaimed bricks and oak flooring gives a sense of warmth and texture to the home.
The rich detailing gives a tactile scale to the new domestic spaces.

The site comprises a two storey semi-detached dwelling located on the east side of Barton Green. The surrounding area is predominantly residential in character and appearance consisting mainly of semi-detached dwellings.
The owner sought to improve the property by erecting a single storey side and rear extension and loft conversion within the existing roof shape following the demolition of the existing side extension.

Seoul Songpa Flowing bench
A continuous landscape for sitting, gathering and interaction
Location : South Korea
Client : Seoul Seoul Metropolitan Government, Funded by Lotte Group
Year : 2013
Stage: Completed
Project description
Flowing Bench explores the relationship between public furniture and movement within the city. Developed as a continuous, flowing form rather than a fixed object, the bench creates a sequence of spaces for sitting, resting and gathering. Its curved geometry responds to the surrounding public realm, encouraging informal interaction and flexible use. Changes in direction and height offer different ways of occupying the bench, from individual moments of rest to shared social spaces. The design blurs the boundary between furniture and landscape, allowing the bench to become an integrated part of the public realm. Through its simple concept and expressive form, Flowing Bench combines movement, seating and social interaction within a flexible piece of urban furniture.
Description
Flowing Bench explores the relationship between public furniture and the movement of people through the city.
Rather than treating the bench as a single, fixed object, the design develops as a continuous flowing form, creating a sequence of different spaces for sitting, resting and gathering. Its gently curved geometry allows the bench to respond to the surrounding public realm while encouraging informal interaction between people.
The flowing profile creates a sense of movement within an otherwise static object. Changes in direction and height provide different ways of occupying the bench, from individual moments of rest to places where people can gather together.
The design aims to blur the boundary between furniture and landscape, allowing the bench to become part of the public space rather than simply an object placed within it.
Simple in concept yet expressive in form, Flowing Bench creates a flexible piece of urban furniture that brings together movement, seating and social interaction.
