Black Box Loft

Black Box Loft is an innovative reinterpretation of the traditional hierarchy of residential architecture, where windows typically decrease in size as the building height increases. In this project, we defy that convention, creating a loft space that fully embraces expansive views across Chiswick. The entire loft room is designed with an open, airy feel, featuring minimalist bifold doors that open onto a sleek balcony. This thoughtful design ensures that the space remains flooded with natural light while offering unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape, creating a strong connection to the outside world.


The extension itself, which houses the loft, is conceived as a striking black box suspended between two solid brick piers. This bold architectural gesture contrasts deliberately with the more traditional design of the original house and the other dormers in the surrounding block. The black box's clean lines and minimalist aesthetic make it a modern addition that stands out yet complements its surroundings, adding a contemporary touch to the street.

By elevating the loft space and incorporating these innovative design features, Black Box Loft transforms a traditional building into a modern, light-filled retreat. The project redefines the way we think about space, hierarchy, and views in residential architecture, offering both visual drama and practical functionality.
