Text description provided by the architects. London-based architecture practice s2b studio has meticulously crafted 'Cooper House,' a new-build home for an artist and architect, nestled in the heart of North London. This project transformed a once-neglected garden infill plot into a contemporary 2.5-storey residence. The project, titled Cooper House, commemorates the historical significance of a garden associated with a listed building that was historically rented by a cooper, a craftsman who made barrels. Addressing the evolving needs of work and living, particularly in the wake of the pandemic, the design challenges conventional spatial dynamics connecting two levels with a perforated floor. The two-story wooden structure, featuring a pitched roof and porous flooring, redefines the interplay between the ground and upper levels, creating an expansive, airy ambiance that celebrates the essence of living.
