‘HomeMade’ is the first residential scheme by London-based design studio Bureau de Change. The project takes two neighboring properties and merges them into a single family home with a new extension providing a kitchen and living space at the rear of the property.The first design step was to connect the two properties by opening up many of the dividing walls and creating openings to give visibility, access and a more unified feel. Throughout the house the differences between old and new, light and dark are celebrated. The architects were very sensitive to how materials and color were used to create a coherent identity for the house and balance between the old and new.
