Kemper System has helped to create an award-winning home extension, featuring a unique swooping roof structure.
Designed by architects Tonkin Liu, the ‘Sun Rain Room’ forms part of the restoration of a Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse in London and features the work of local craftspeople. The building is also home to architects Anna Liu and Mike Tonkin and provides a studio for their practice.
A ‘Good Place on a Bad Day’
The two-storey extension reframes the rear of the building and features a new garden room offering living space and a meeting area for the studio. A mirrored wall in the covered outdoor area beyond conceals a workshop, cooking area, tool shed, store, and deep planter for the small trees in the green roof above. Below the patio, the existing basement has been extended to create a bedroom, two bathrooms and an enlarged plant-filled lightwell.
One of the most striking features of the new extension is a curved, 10m-long roof, which dominates the space and frames a bean-shaped courtyard. A pipe runs down the building’s rear wall to meet the new roof. When rainwater gathers at the top of the townhouse it falls through the pipe and follows the roof’s curving leading edge to a spout over a long rainwater harvesting tank.
