Faceted House by Paul McAnearney Architects

Paul McAnearney Architects have recently designed a house by the name Faceted house or House of Many Faces. An old house in a decrepit state has been reconstructed and modernized. The house is located within a conservation area, in Hammersmith, London.
The project’s brief was to remodel and extend the living area. The client asked for a contemporary design and functionality and he also expressed the desire to be able to perceive the garden as a continuation of the domestic space. The new extension is added by a clean and clearly defined line to the rear part of the house that respects the heritage of the older building and gives this house a unique aesthetic.
The sculptural façade is visually striking and elegant at the same time. The architects reconfigured and expanded the existing space by designing a huge open-plan. Light floods into the house via the finest possible sections, making up the sliding doors, combined with the large fixed frameless panel of the façade. The result is a “ballet of light”, as the light casts a sharp beam into the depth of the house.
