Autumn House attempts to negotiate the need for refuge, retreat, and privacy with generosity and engagement with the urban context.
An extension to a Victorian terrace with a 1980’s renovation by architect Mick Jörgensen and a mature Elm tree in the backyard, in effect adds a careful new layer stitched into and around these constraints. The project attempts to sympathetically balance the architecture of the Victorian, the Jorgenson addition with a new contribution by our studio.
Autumn House deflects its plan form around the Elm tree, surrounding and embracing the canopy and bringing the seasonal beauty of the tree into daily life.
