In 2023 Penna embarked upon the process of redesigning and extending the ground floor flat of this Victorian property in South London, towards the rear garden and side return. Constrained by a compact plot and the presence of several other freeholders the design introduces a roof scape punctuated by apertures allowing natural southern light to penetrate into the spaces below. This reimagining of the existing space ensure a family centric, functional abode.
