Lens House – A Large Origami House by Alison Brooks Architects
Lens House, located in Islington, London, UK, is designed by Alison Brooks Architects. It is a large Victorian house, displaying an intriguing exterior.
The house has an extension which looks like a huge origami, consisting of two irregular volumes, each of them having a well-defined functionality. The first volume shelters the home office while the second one extends out at the back to increase the size of the first floor living room. Enjoying a beautiful green garden outside, the building has a generous entrance, inviting to come into the office part, with a practical aspect and very well-organized. This part of the space enjoys natural light, assured by the large floor to ceiling windows and the interesting cutting fence in the ceiling. The living space is ample and elegant, with white and luminous walls and elegant furniture, the kitchen being a part of this space, like continuity, with its yellow and cheerful wall and its cozy aspect, inviting you to feel like home.
Spacious bedrooms, simple furniture and elegant décor elements, combined with the light that floods the house make this residence to be an ideal living place, combining in a harmonious way work with the joy of being home, with your family.
