Mark Bonshek and Sabba Khan’s Two-Up Two-Down House is an ambitious design for their traditional Victorian terrace house
Two-Up Two-Down House exemplifies just how the typical London terrace can be a blank canvas for the adventurous architect. For the project, husband and wife architectural practice Khan Bonshek took on a substantial project to completely overhaul a Victorian house in East London. The resulting home radically rearranges the interior volumes, pushing the space right to the limit of what's possible, while adding a modest brick rear and rooftop extension.
The relatively tight area has been given a new lease of life by a more expansive floorplan, with views out and across the length of the space, and out through the enlarged windows on the rear façade. The ground floor retains the original layout but refines the detailing, with a living room, dining room and kitchen in the rear extension.
In addition to concrete tie-beams, pre-cast concrete sills and bare brick walls, the project makes extensive use of sustainable spruce plywood and recycled plastics, along with reclaimed teak floors and black marble and brass detailing. The front door is finished in marquetry flooring offcuts, while the central steel staircase is finished in white, with timber treads and a ribbon balustrade.
