Newtown House
Newtown, 2013
Hall Bowra Architects were commissioned by two friends to convert their small and dark two bedroom single storey terrace into a light-filled three bedroom terrace with masses if storage. The original front part of the dwelling was retained and preserved, and the ageing masonry lean-to was dismantled. Split-level floors were arranged around an open stair to amplify and expose each internal space to a void filled with daylight, and an unexpected sense of space. A centrally located light well directs light and ventilation to two bedrooms, and both bathrooms, while lower-level louvres funnel fresh air into the laundry and storage spaces below ground. Joinery rather than internal walls demarcate internal spaces allowing, where possible a horizontal extension of space. Our client saw an opportunity to invest his skills and a year of his life to building the extension himself and with his son, so it was important that the design could be simply pieced together on a budget with minimal trades and wastage of materials.
