HUT have secured planning permission for the refurbishment and extension of a two-storey maisonette in Highbury, North London. The property occupies the lower floors of a mid-terrace Victorian house. The internal reconfiguration moves the kitchen, dining and living rooms to the lower ground floor with direct access to the garden via a glass-and-rusted-steel extension with an abundance of natural light provided by glazed rooflights and glazing to the rear elevation. Most of the bedrooms are moved to the ground floor, working within the proportions of the traditional house, while bathrooms and a utility room are tucked away in the centre of the plan.
