Allison house
AQSO arquitectos office. The rear extension to this Victorian London dwelling introduces a contemporary architectural language with a stepped timber louvred facade.

the back garden

The rear elevation of the house is designed with restrained and contemporary language. The sophisticated façade of wooden slats blends with the traditional brick walls. The simple, functional landscaping of the back garden together with the white wooden fences bring even light into the interior.

The image of the building at the rear presents a series of stepped volumes. The wooden louvred façade accentuates the verticality of this elegant elevation.

The house’s back garden has been converted into a pleasant, bright and private space where one can enjoy the open air and nature. The white-painted wooden fences provide privacy and let more natural light into the interior.

The large window on the ground floor creates a visual connection with the kitchen and living room, which become an extension of the garden. Outside, the vegetation requires minimal maintenance and the paving is easy to clean. A seating area with sofas is placed on the wooden decking, the rest of the patio has a non-slip polished concrete floor.

The view from the garden shows the ascending volume of the house, with the different terraces of the bedrooms enjoying views of the garden.
