Block House
nimtim
nimtim were approached by a young family
who had recently bought an end-of-terrace
Victorian house in Stoke Newington. The
house was in a state of disrepair and
priority was placed on upgrading and
creating an open plan ground floor family
space. The existing lean-to conservatory
was demolished to allow for a new side
extension. Nimtim introduced a double
height internal courtyard to the center of the
house with a glass block wall to one side and
an opening roof light above.
This space acts as a focal point for the
entire house, organizing and choreographing
the spaces around it: bringing light and
ventilation to the parts of the house that
might otherwise be dark and airless.
