Providing of Garden Access
Who loves alterations? We love alterations. Especially when they turn a Victorian house in a conservative area with access to the backyard garden only through a utility room between the basement and ground floors. It was just silly! Now it’s spectacular. Architect Tamir Addadi, quickly becoming a favorite of mine, took this space and transformed it into a modern masterpiece.
To turn this home into one where nature plays a significant part in the daily activities of the family, the entire back garden was excavated and the basement floor was extended into it. A new lounge area was created, the stone floor of the garden extending directly into it. In the lounge is a wooden bar table that continues the garden’s floor level, a horizontal storage unit forming an additional level between the basement floor and the garden.
Eventually climbing plants will grow to surround the new extension of the garden, the entire new area working together to create a single transitional space. A new bathroom and utility area were also added around this area, and changes were made throughout the house to tie the entire living space into one whole.
Work included the design of bespoke carpentry units, kitchen, landscape design and project management.

I liked the contrast between the house and the garden, its like taking you to another world. Inspiring!

i hope the kitchen remained in its old style. the contrast between the old brick and the clean geometric look of the new part and the access to the garden is great. i liked the more natural and wild look of he "before" garden better, though.
