House I is an ongoing residential refurbishment project for a private client in northeast London, UK. The existing building dates back to the 19th century and has accommodated a range of uses over time, including a furniture workshop and a bakery, before being converted into a modest dwelling. The project approaches the building as an accumulation of histories, seeking to extend its life through careful adaptation. The design introduces a new phase while working with the character of the existing structure, continuing its transformation rather than replacing it.
