Construction works have begun on this 3-storey mid-terrace house for a musician in De Beauvoir, Hackney. The complete upgrade of the house includes new loft insulation and re-design of all rooms. A new rear extension is to be formed with black stack-bonded Petersen brick and black crittal glazing which will also appear internally, defining the reinstated entrance hall. A palette of muted colours, white Douglas Fir and grey terrazzo will bring calm texture to the interior. Layout amendments are both playful and practically suited to contemporary living and entertaining, including a new ground level WC and the new open-plan kitchen extension which connects back to the house via an internal picture window. Completion is expected in mid-autumn
