Site Specific: A Stair for a London Townhouse
Decent Goodfellow Architects - January 2020
A selection of images documenting the design and ongoing construction phase of an apartment refurbishment in London, focusing on the new staircase at the heart of the project. The refurbishment is over the three top levels of a grade II listed, grand 19th Century terraced town house in St Georges Square, Pimlico.
Overdevelopment from previous conversions had created low natural light levels within the apartment and inefficient circulation spaces. The key move was to rearrange the circulation by stacking the stair, creating a new spatial sequence within the apartment. This intervention is lit from above by a new rooflight and mansard window. Additionally, a new internal window brings light from the balcony-lit lounge, across the plan and into the stairwell.
