MODERN TERRACE

A fresh, light-filled and energy-efficient home conceived as an extension of the city, a place to rest between journeys

At Modern Terrace, we have opened up the existing shell of a terraced house with new windows, flooding the middle of the house with natural light. The significant remodelling created a generous kitchen and entrance area, and turned the attic into a new bedroom. The underfloor heating serves the whole house. The new stair not only frees up space, but also incorporates open treads to allow air to circulate. Improved wall insulation overcomes climate control issues, resulting in a comfortable, contemporary and spacious three-bed family home.

FRESH HOME

The openness in section lets light penetrate through the centre of the house as well as allowing natural ventilation from ground to the top floor creating a fresh, light-filled home.

A HOME FULL OF LIGHT

Beautifully carved spaces catch the light from openings in walls as well as ceilings.

SPACE-MAXIMISING ELEMENT THAT LETS THE LIGHT IN

The second flight of stairs is made of glass to allow unbroken views from the lower level to the top level. Additionally light can soak in from the top all the way down to the centre of the house.
