THISS Studio 改造了伦敦东区Clapton的一栋战时排屋的首层空间。该事务所对拥挤的厨房和昏暗的客厅进行了重新设计，引入了空间、光线和鲜明的风格，并在后部扩建了部分精致的细木工建筑设计，其入口上方有宽阔的铝制雨篷。

Text description provided by the architects. THISS Studio has transformed the ground floor of an interwar terraced house in Clapton, East London. The practice has reimagined a compact kitchen and dark living room to introduce volume, light and fresh personality with a thoughtful rear extension conceived as an exquisite piece of joinery topped with a sweeping aluminum canopy.





客户Jack Munro和Domino MacNaughton看到了这处房产的潜力——一个阳光普照的大花园，且毗邻公园。于是他们在 2021 年购买了这处房产，Domino来自波士顿，她热爱感恩节与亲朋好友相聚，因此她决定在后部加建空间，将厨房打通，使用餐空间焕然一新，以容纳更多家人。

Although in need of updating, clients Jack Munro and Domino MacNaughton saw the property’s potential - a large sun-drenched garden and proximity to a park - and purchased the home in 2021. Originally from Boston, Domino’s love of Thanksgiving and hosting family and friends inspired the decision to add a large rear extension to open up the kitchen to allow for a renewed dining space with more capacity for loved ones.





Jack是一名产品设计师，也是设计工作室 Mule 的联合创始人，他最初考虑自己设计这个项目，但后来委托 THISS Studio，希望他们将现有结构方面的专业知识运用到工程中。他最初的设想是扩建全面宽的后部区域，以最大限度地利用空间，创造一个社交、聚会的厨房和用餐空间。THISS Studio却发现了一个机会，那就是设计一个小型且精致的场所，仅有三米，从而缩小了建筑规模，并在预算范围内为使用特殊的材料创造了机会。紧凑的扩建还加强了房屋与花园之间的关系，使其更适合周围环境。

Jack, a product designer and co-founder of the design studio, Mule, initially considered taking on the project himself, instead commissioning THISS Studio to bring their expertise with existing structures to the works. The clients initially envisioned a full-width rear extension to maximize space and create a social, convivial kitchen and dining space. THISS Studio instead spotted the opportunity for a smaller, considered extension of just three meters, which reduced build scale and created allocation within the budget for the use of exceptional, consciously sourced materials. The compact extension also enhances the relationship between the house and the garden, fitting more appropriately into its context.



项目建筑师Dan Pope将该项目视为创造定制细木工设计作品的机会，从而使原本比较常规的建筑工程变得工艺精湛。

Project architect, Dan Pope, approached the project as an opportunity to create a bespoke piece of joinery, resulting in a highly crafted take on what could have been routine construction.





木质框架是细木工的杰作，采用的是沙比利硬木，在主承包商 Sail & Sons 公司Fiona Sail的协助下以可持续方式设计。在大天窗下，沙比利细木工板以格子的形式悬浮在头顶，从一侧横跨墙壁，并沿着定制双层玻璃门窗的立面安装，使花园成为室内空间的背景墙，与嵌入式长凳一起，提供了阳光充足的阅读和用餐场所。深色石板地砖与萨佩尔木的暖色调形成鲜明对比，正对花园前方的铺装区域，使整个房间呈现出更大的接待和娱乐空间。

The timber frame is a masterclass in joinery, crafted in sapele hardwood which was sustainably sourced with assistance from the main contractor, Fiona Sail of Sail & Sons. Beneath a large skylight, sapele joinery floats overhead in a lattice, spanning the wall from one side and framing bespoke, double-glazed windows and doors along the rear elevation which allow the garden to serve as a backdrop. A built-in bench seat runs beneath to provide a sunny reading and dining spot. Creating a striking contrast with the warm tones of the Sapele wood, dark slate tiles ground the room and have been leveled with a paved area at the front of the garden to create the sense of one large space for hosting and entertaining.



根据对视觉参考资料的研究，设计构思出了铝制雨篷，位于扩建部分的顶部。第一幅灵感来源是Edward Hopper的“空房间里的太阳，1963年”，第二幅灵感来源是James McIntosh Patrick的“城市花园，1940年”。后者描绘了一个围墙严密的花园，柔软洁净的亚麻布围绕飘扬，这种关系形成了铝制雨篷的漩涡曲线，与花园地块和扩建部分简洁、笔直的线条形成鲜明对比。

随着项目的进展，客户和工作室亲切地将雨篷命名为“煎蛋”。它的主要作用是为木材提供风雨保护，并减少扩建部分的太阳辐射热量。这个定制的雨篷被切割成独特的有机形状，为餐厅窗户和扩建部分外部的铺装区域提供遮蔽。制造和安装由 Sail and Sons 公司负责，Fiona的精湛技艺体现在精致的砂光处理上，在雨篷表面形成乳白色反光效果。雨篷设计成缓坡，顶部装有支撑百叶，具有双重功能：在增强结构刚度的同时，像弹球游戏一样引导雨水沿顶篷表面流下，最后落到定制的雨水斗和雨水链上，涓涓细流带来了宁静的氛围。

Resting atop the extension, an aluminum canopy was conceived from research into visual references. The first, "Sun in an Empty Room, 1963" by Edward Hopper, and the second, "A City Garden, 1940" by James McIntosh Patrick. The latter portrays a rigid walled garden, with soft clean linen billowing around a washing line at the center. This juxtaposition inspired the swirling curves of the aluminum canopy, providing a contrast to the clean, straight lines of the garden plot and extension footprint.
As the project progressed, the canopy was affectionately named “the fried egg” by the clients and studio. Its primary purpose is to provide weather protection for the timber and reduce solar heat gain within the extension. This bespoke roof was laser cut into a unique, organic shape to create shelter above the servery window and paved areas that envelop the extension’s exterior. The fabrication and installation were handled by Sail and Sons. Fiona's craft sings in the beautiful sanded finish, creating a stunning milky reflectivity on the canopy surface. Designed with a gentle slope, the canopy incorporates support louvers on the top, serving the dual function of enhancing structural rigidity and directing rain along its surface like a game of pinball before ending up at a bespoke hopper and rain chain. The gentle trickle of water further enhances a sense of tranquillity. 





现有的背立面处增加了一个服务窗口，实现了厨房和室外之间食品和饮料的无缝传递。THISS与Jack和Domino密切合作，特别是在厨房的选择上，由工作室采购意大利水磨石台面和防溅背板，并由Jack亲自采购。橱柜被设计成桃红色和茶色，以呼应Domino喜欢的风格。整个一楼的饰面、电气和供暖系统也全部进行了更新。

The addition of a servery window on the existing rear elevation allows for the seamless transition of food and drink between the kitchen and outdoors. THISS collaborated closely with Jack and Domino on the kitchen choices in particular, resulting in Italian terrazzo worktops and splashbacks sourced by the studio and procured personally by Jack, and cabinetry painted in peach and teal to echo Domino’s style. Finishes, electrics and heating throughout the ground floor were also all updated.



由于现有的地面层高于底层平面，花园的后部需要抬高，由Jack和他的母亲（一位经验丰富的景观园艺师）重新设计。石板地砖在餐厅窗下铺设了一个下沉式庭院，台阶通向花岗岩与鹅卵石小径，小径环绕中央草坪以及多年生灌木和观赏草的花坛。

As the existing ground level was located higher than the ground floor plane, the garden has remained raised at the rear and was redesigned by Jack and his mother, an experienced landscape gardener. Slate tiles create a sunken patio under the servery window with steps that lead up to granite cobblestone paths that encircle a central lawn and raised beds of perennial shrubs and ornamental grasses.



THISS工作室在整个项目中优先采用天然、可再生或可回收的材料。工作室与福斯特Foster Structures合作，设计了一种桩基础，作为更轻质的手段，减少了混凝土的消耗。选用了经 FSC认证的沙比利木材，以延长其使用寿命，而雨篷选用铝材则是出于其可持续性的考虑，因为铝材具有无限的可回收性。此外，它还被设计成三个大块，其平板表面覆盖面积很大，固定装置、配件、接缝和接缝都极少。一棵现有的李树作为花园的核心被保留下来，并在整个施工过程中得到了精心的养护和浇灌。

THISS Studio has prioritized natural, renewable, or recyclable materials throughout the project. In collaboration with Foster Structures, the studio designed a piled foundation as a more lightweight approach, reducing concrete consumption. A FSC-certified sapele wood was selected to support longevity while the choice of aluminum for the canopy surface stems from its sustainability credentials, offering infinite recyclability. Additionally, it was designed as three large jigsaw pieces, and its flat sheet surface covers a substantial area with minimal fixtures, fittings, joints and seams. An existing plum tree was protected and retained as the heart of the garden, carefully wrapped and watered throughout construction.
