Light work

Article Abstract:

The reworking of the day lighting and circulation of a mew house in London, which is converted from a store to a house and reworked by Greenberg and Hawkes in 1991 is described. The elaborate framing of the fenestration kept out light, space at the rear of the plan was relatively dark, despite the installation of an enormous pitched rooflight over the first-floor living room and the circulation routes are shut away from the main spaces.

Stairway to haven

Article Abstract:

The stair that links the newly opened-up ground floor with the roof conversion of an outwardly conventional house, which is described, is a supremely simple visual idea, complex in making. A winding stair of cantilevered French oak treads and a glass balustrade slices through riser, like a continuous folded plate.
