Aperture House works within and re-envisions the original footprint of this Queens Park cottage, shaping new organisations of spaces and creating a more porous, luminous interior. Working within a conservation area, the challenge was to balance the need to retain the existing dwelling whilst also maximising the floor area which could be designed and built into habitable space. Another consideration was the need to illuminate what was formerly a dark and damp home, and help residents overtime reduce and minimise energy usage.

The project sought to collapse the division between the inside and outside, creating a generous living space which can encompass both with wide sliding doors. Storage and utilities are smartly tucked into the walls and furniture, helping the inside feel uncluttered and efficient. Skylights and openings brighten the spaces, which alongside simple white walls and timber surfaces makes this home warm and inviting for residents and guests alike.
