The project
Permutation House brings together architectural elements developed across earlier William Tozer projects, adapting their proportions and materials to a Victorian house in Lower Clapton. The result is a new arrangement of familiar parts.
At ground level, white planes define the extension and frame the courtyard garden through glazed openings. Above, the roof additions form slate-clad volumes with frameless windows.
A curtain follows the living room’s original front bay window.
Inside, exposed brickwork sits alongside timber-clad stairs and fitted storage. A curtain across the front bay brings an original Victorian feature into the new composition, while cupboards and shelves conceal a disused fireplace.
Concealed pivot doors can enclose the first-floor bedrooms. A rooflight illuminates the upper landing, and a clerestory window and rooflight bring daylight to the ensuite bathroom.
Slate-clad roof additions sit above the white rear extension. · The completed rear extension and roof additions viewed from the garden. · White-painted brickwork remains visible beside the bedroom.
