The client wanted us to investigate the potential to extend this existing building to create additional residential properties.
A scheme of 4 residential properties was developed as a concept, but we wanted to move away from the standard ‘grey set back’ floor which is so common in the UK market.
We developed an idea where the extension featured inward-looking balconies, using angled walls, to create the sense of privacy and ownership. This angled language influenced the roof, where the geometry of the balconies created a ‘saw toothed’ effect roof form.
This angled geometry also helped to create a clear visual sense of the split within the apartments – moving away from the typical apartment where apartments are lost within a monotonous building.
Avenue HeightsThe project brief was to extend a existing linear residential block on the edge of Crouch End, North London. As the design developed, the client extended the works to demolish and rebuild the linear block to improve the quality of the apartments whilst maintaining the contemporary architectural style.

DalstonThe brief was to develop this existing building on Kingsland Road, Dalston, into a mixed use commercial and residential project. The site, located on an old Roman road, has historic significance and was developed in the late 19th Century. The area was significantly bomb damaged during the Second World War, which explains why this building differs architecturally from the terrace resides. T2S felt it was logical to reinstate the Georgian terrace style to the front, whilst proposing a modern extension at the rear to retain a sense of historic honesty to the design.
