TYPE updates London terrace home with robust and timeless materials

Pale brick, clay-fired tiles and ash carpentry were used to bring tactility and warmth to this Victorian terrace house in London, extended by local architecture studio TYPE.

Located in Denmark Hill, the home was expanded for a young family, with a larger kitchen and dining area introduced on the ground floor and an extra bedroom and home office in the attic.

TYPE focused on creating a "sensory richness" for the interiors, with a tactile and natural palette based on the existing materiality of the 19th-century terrace.
