ANDREW BURGES ARCHITECTS. NOBBS RADFORD ARCHITECTS. Virginia Kerridge, Architecture. This project involved the creative adaptation of a rendered brick industrial warehouse building to a family home.
The original building was built in the 1900s, and had formerly been used as a furniture warehouse and before that, the “Oh Boy Candy Company” warehouse. The heart of the design is the central garden which is visible from most areas of the house, a space which allows the building to breathe. The proportions of the main garden area are based on the golden mean while the existing structure provides a strong framework and rhythm. A north facing slot garden allows the penetration of northern sun as well as light and air to the children’s bedrooms on the ground floor level. The garden areas orient and inform the house, providing framed views from each room and a sense of place and belonging, making the building work as a whole. Welsh + Major Architects.
