Casa del Sol is the remodelling of a London townhouse, with the extension of the lower ground floor to create a new dining and kitchen space, and with the addition of a new bedroom and two new bathrooms. An innovative glazed gap was created to define the new living spaces.

With an expanding family and a consequent need for more living space, the owners of this terraced house in Herne Hill, South London, realised that moving house whilst staying in the area was not financially attractive.

The scheme developed by Sophie Nguyen Architects created a fourth bedroom, a new bathroom, and a new shower room on the upper floors, through the conversion of existing rooms. The particular focus of the project was the extension of the lower ground floor into the side alley to create a generous kitchen and dining space, to bring more light in and create a seamless connection to the garden.

The kitchen is introduced as a single standalone element that is placed in the newly annexed side alley. This element maintains its distance from the living space through the glazed gap to the wall of the house – the project is vertical rather than horizontal, and there is clarity to the space as a result. This conversion and the adjoining garden have been conceived to maximise the light that streams into the house.

A sun trap has been created in the middle of Herne Hill – the Casa del Sol.

The client comments on completion: ‘This renovation has changed our life. I genuinely didn’t think the kitchen would be so lit up. We can now see the sun at every hour of the day. It’s now fun for the children to be down here. My husband really enjoys the new bathroom, it is so well lit and practical for the entire family!’‘We were so glad Sophie managed the project. I don’t know how we would have done without her. She was a pleasure to work with, really cared for every details. I cannot emphasize enough how having an architect proved to be very good value for money’.
