The bridge
This glazed bridge walkway helps to keep the central doubleheight space airy and light, while providing access to the second storey rooms that sit either side of this oak frame (by Oakwrights) self-build.
A wealth of natural light
Introducing and maximising opportunities for natural light is key to the success of a renovated or newly built house. Daylight was certainly a priority in this well-considered home office overlooking the kitchen-diner (right of the image), designed by Selencky///parsons Architects.
A place to play
Right When tasked to design a loft conversion for this terraced home, Fraher and Findlay Architects came up with the concept of transforming the landing space into a play area adjacent to the new bedroom. A rooflight, artwork and storage nooks create a landing with functionality and purpose.
Picture perfect
The long expanse of glazing in this landing would make anyone want to pause and take in the stunning views; the bookcasecum-window seat creates the perfect place to do so.
Getting creative
Right In order to create a unique but cost-effective landing, this home’s walkway features an MDF balustrade with star shapes cut out, which cast shadows after dark and add interest to an otherwise simple feature.
A characterful gallery
Above & left A place to play music, showcase artwork, store books, and sit and admire the entrance courtyard below, this galleried landing designed by Roderick James Architects pretty much does it all and redefines the limitations of what landings can offer.
Right By building a bookcase into a wall that spans the length of this mezzanine, Field Studio Architects has created a welcoming space filled with personality that can double as a reading area and office.
