Forest Gate House

A fully bespoke side and return extension to a victorian terrace house in east London.  The douglas fir facade frames the view out to the garden enhancing the human to nature engagement whilst also defining a zone to socialise and interact between the inside and out.  Clean lines and honesty in materials and finishes increases the sense of well being to the internal spaces. Joinery designed by Poroban and fabricated by CAB Workshop.
