Corbyn Street

This terraced house on Corbyn Street, Finsbury Park, was badly damaged by bombing in the Second World War and rebuilt in a mix of old and new brick. We added a rear extension and the first loft conversion on the street, with a main bedroom and ensuite. The new kitchen opens the ground floor to the garden without leaving it overlooked by the surrounding flats. Its rear elevation draws on the patchwork of brickwork, tied together by a brick lintel and a band of engineering brick.
