When the clients of this eco-conscious project first approached THISS Studio intending to expand their Victorian terraced home in Waltham Forest, to accommodate a growing family, they didn’t realise they already had all the space they needed.
Rather than pursuing a costly, carbon-intensive extension project, the London-based architects reimagined the brief and proposed a thoughtful plan to reconfigure the existing space. The result is Hartley House, which stands as an exemplary case of sustainable architecture and creativity at a time when the consequences of carbon-intensive building practices are widely understood.
