London design firm Archmongers has updated the design and extension of the Ray House located in Hackney with a new Victorian terrace to join the mix. This is all a part of a celebration of elevated craftsmanship by integrating bespoke finishes, including the concrete frieze made by its client. The renovation of the home is led by a dark and compartmentalized floor plan.
The owners wanted the team to open up the home and update the space to accommodate their art and furniture. Archmongers co-founder Johan Hybschmann told Dezeen about the design, "The project has transformed the house from a poorly insulated, single-glazed and gas central-heated property with an irrational compartmentalised plan, into a thermally efficient, all-electric, hi-tech, contemporary home with abundant daylight now reaching deep into the house."
