Islington House Extension and Refurbishment

Shou Sugi Ban black charred larch boards provide the outer skin of this extension to an existing rear closet wing. The charred texture of the cladding was chosen to complement the traditional London Stock brick on the rear facade. This is capped by a custom folded metal shadow trim. As part of the drainage design, to avoid the need to accommodate internal pipework the existing rain water pipe was rerouted and hidden behind the parapet.
