Architecture studio Unknown Works takes on a renovation project which results in the Oasis Home. It is a terraced home that has extensions at the side and rear to create a flexible interior space. It will simultaneously optimize natural light. The home is owned by co-founder Theo Games Petrophilos who was looking to update the interior space with a more open-plan living space.
Petrophilos tells Dezeen "The old spaces were dark and didn't make anything of the connection to the garden. I think the previous owners weren't big cooks because they left the kitchen in a cramped setup as a galley with the dining table set to the end. You couldn't feed more than two or three in that space, while the main living space prioritised a big sofa and a TV, which seemed a little sad. I swapped it up with a massive dining table in the main space."
