# Tropical Modern House Extensions Sonn Introduces the Plaster House in Hackney, London By Amy Duong | Published 2024-05-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plaster-house References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2024/05/08/sonn-uses-rough-plaster-finishes-for-monolithic-and-sculptural-london-extension/) & [sonnstudio](https://www.sonnstudio.co.uk/)  Design studio Sonn was tapped to help create a new extension at the Plaster House, which is located in Hackney, London. The [Victorian building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/br-house) gets an additional bedroom with more improvements connected to the garden in the back of the home. The team aimed to create a 'carved-out' feeling in the space in a uniform manner. The studio used a range of [plaster finishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basalt-house) in a selection of pale tones inside and outside. Founder of Sonn, Tim Robinson speaks to [Dezeen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-house-1) about the design concept and how the team created a carved aesthetic. He states, "A focus on light, height and connection to the garden was key, but we also wanted the space to feel like it had been 'carved-out' of stone."
