While the original project involved adapting the existing space of the terraced Victorian house in Battersea, south London, this latest intervention was to make more space by extending the unused area beneath the pitched roof.

The aim was to create a separate work and reading space for the client Teal Triggs, associate dean at the Royal College of Art's School of Communication, and her partner.

L-shaped in plan, the Gallery House loft extension is split into two parts, following the ridge lines of the original roof. The largest space forms the reading room, while the narrower section integrates a desk within an archive space.
