Text description provided by the architects. Triangle House is London-based practice Child Graddon Lewis’ refurbishment and extension of a small infill site in Kentish Town, London, transforming a gloomy and disused small office into a naturally lit, 3-storey house. The design has been meticulously composed to embrace the triangular footprint and existing character of the site, creating a building that makes efficient and functional use of space and natural light. To achieve this, the scheme adopts a split-level internal arrangement with a higher front level and lower rear level. This enabled the creation of valuable amenity space in the form of a southeast-facing, private terrace just below the roof level. At the front, a semi-enclosed courtyard serves as a private front winter garden – setting the main entrance away directly from the street. This intermediary space also provides ample room for cycle storage.
