Houzz Tours: A Modern Extension Loft Apartment in a building London Period - One of the surprising things about the center of London is that, amid all the traffic and display cases, residential areas have moved unnoticed by thousands of people every day. Walking in the Strand in central London, for example, you might never imagine that hidden behind the front panel next to the theater Adelphi is Gatti House, formerly the restaurant Adelphi Theatre, and now a building of five floors with its own courtyard.
This apartment in the newly renovated - and hand - building is perhaps the most interesting house, because it is a large new extension to the original architecture. Whereas the other apartments are built into the existing structure of the listed building, most of the structure of this apartment is new, "says Lucy Barlow of Barlow & Barlow, who led the design of this unusual space.
Barlow memory for overhaul of the house was "industrial luxury," and the feeling of ownership and intelligent materials reflects the presence of the apartment as a new addition to an old building.

When Lucy Barlow was commissioned to design a new extension to an old building, classified, she chose to put the focus on this element, , starting with the use of recovered oak everywhere.
"The wood is recovered," she explains. "I think this oak came mainly from old farm buildings. It is ideal for covering walls and floors.

The steel staircase was designed to operate in a restricted space. The treads are made from the same recycled oak used on floors and walls; the coating stops halfway to expose the brick painted white, which is the outer wall of the original building.
Barlow decided to cover a gap in the wall by covering it with a beautiful mirror, which is a converted old factory window. 'It mimics where the original window used to be, "she says.
The staircase has a handrail in black painted steel with metal pins. Steel beams, also painted in gloss black to look industrial, echo the ramp. 'In a traditional building, the beams will be supervised, but in a modern design like this, exposed in keeping works best and is part of the design, "says Barlow.
