Finsbury Park Avenue is a refurbishment and extension of a 1980s townhouse in N London. Innovation and sustainability were key considerations in developing the design, culminating in a highly sustainable project that includes an air source heat pump and a 2 storey addition to the rear of the original dwelling.

The existing garage was converted to provide a new open kitchen / dining room arrangement leading to the garden at the rear. Contrasting brickwork defines the new parts of the house which has been carefully detailed to form deep tapered reveals around the 1st floor window with engineering brick depolyed to accentunate the profile of the extension.
