\"Ribbon<\/div>\n

Weathered steel shaped like a “pressed ribbon” frames the rear extension<\/a> of this Victorian townhouse in London<\/a>, renovated by local studio Will Gamble Architects<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Named Ribbon House, the original home was expanded into a five-bedroom dwelling through the addition of both loft and rear extensions, and the overhaul of its existing interiors.<\/p>\n

The client’s wish for a palette of “earthy tones” informed Will Gamble Architects<\/a>‘ use of Corten steel to frame the extension.<\/p>\n

Inside, this was complemented by terracotta tiles, brass fittings and green-toned carpentry alongside reinstated Victorian features.<\/p>\n

“The design is influenced by the use of natural materials, and the client’s desire to introduce earthy tones,” founder Will Gamble told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“This approach started with the natural patina of the Corten-steel opening, the angular folds of which recall a pressed ribbon, simultaneously delicate and strong,” he added.<\/p>\n

“Subsequently, it influenced the material palette internally \u2013 terracotta tiles, oak flooring, microcement worktops and a medley of greens were used throughout the house.”<\/p>\n

Within the rear extension, a skylit living, dining and kitchen space is flanked by two walls lined with built-in storage, including full-height cupboards finished in a pale shade of green and more open display spaces and shelving in oak.<\/p>\n

A lounge area sits beneath a skylight lined by timber slats and overlooks the garden through full-height sliding glass doors that open onto a paved patio.<\/p>\n

At the back of the space, Ribbon House’s kitchen is organised around a microcement island with curved corners.<\/p>\n

Above the worktop, a section of terracotta tiles introduces the earthly palette into this area, carried through into a terracotta-toned pantry tucked into one corner.<\/p>\n
