Project: Low Energy House
Architects: Architecture for London @architectureforlondon
Location: Muswell Hill, London, United Kingdom
Photographer: Lorenzo Zandri @lorenzozandri
An Edwardian terrace in Muswell Hill was extended and refurbished to create a comfortable, low energy house. Energy requirements are reduced dramatically by insulating, triple-glazing and improving airtightness. New additions include a rear extension and a loft conversion.
This project aims to be an exemplar for the sustainable refurbishment of a typical terraced home in London, with a constrained budget. Walls were insulated externally at the side and rear, and internally at the front with wood fibre. Insulating internally at the front has allowed the original Edwardian facade to be preserved. Natural materials including stone, timber and lime plaster were used throughout.
