The brief was to create a light, spacious and contemporary living, cooking and dining area within an infill extension to a two bedroom basement flat of a Victorian terrace. Timber has been used to add inter- est and to help loosely define ‘rooms’ within an open plan space. Ogi Ristic, director, Type Studio, explains: “In Tufnell Park we wanted to escape the conventional white plasterboard building material. Timber for us was a rela- tively affordable way of achieving this and provided a distinct warm tone throughout a space that used to be dark and grey,” The timber dining area which divides the kitchen from the sitting area is all expressed in sweet chestnut with the exposed steel- work and gridded timber ceiling separating it from the existing building. Chestnut was chosen for its colour, grain, structure and because it could be used both inside and outside where it formed a projecting window seat linking the extension with the garden. Larch floor boards run throughout each space to bring everything together.
