brixton
architect: reenie (karin) elliott.
building type+location: house refurbishment and loft conversion, brixton, london, england.
invisible elements:
- an unsupported 2 storey high chimney breast was discovered during the demolition. It had been supported by invisible forces for several decades
- a jamaican contractor named ‘handy eddie’ played fast and loose with his interpretation of my damp-proofing details – which would have been fine if the building were in jamaica!
client: janet dunlop and phil hawker
completion date: 2003
