Parkside Crescent

Tynemouth, Tyne and Wear

2009

The interior of this house was reconfigured in order to fulfil the client’s desire for a well-lit family room. We were originally approached because of our experience working with glass, encouraging a design that opens up to the morning light.

The strong vertical glazing and Douglas Fir posts yawn up into the sky, slicing the wall into slithers of wood and offering tantilising views out. A feature wall between the kitchen and hallway is hollowed out with space for objects or treasure, and some holes large enough for children to sit in or dive through. This is complemented by a controllable colour LED lighting display.
