*건축가 본인을 위한 주택 리노베이션-[ Henri Bredenkamp ] family home

런던 베이스의 '스튜디오30'의 건축가 Henri Bredenkamp는 일전에 골드 스미스 대학의 교육공간이었던 곳을 본인의 가족을 위한 빛 가득한 주택으로 탈바꿈시켰다. 그의 손에서 19세기 빅토리아풍 주택이 자신의 아내와 어린 아들을 위한 가정으로 바뀌는 과정에서 무엇보다 어둡고 축축한 지하실을 좀 더 효율적인 공간으로 활용하는 것을 목표로 삼았다.
그 과정에서 천장 층고를 높이기 위해 아래를 팠고, 후면의 확장을 추가했다. 부엌은 오픈형으로 구성하면서 볼륨의 확장을 위해 거대한 유리를 채택했다.

Architect Henri Bredenkamp has overhauled a London house once used as a teaching space by Goldsmiths university to create a light-filled home for his family.
Bredenkamp of London-based Studio 30 Architects, refurbished and extended the basement when converting the 19th-century Victorian property into a home for himself, his wife and their young son.
He called it The Study House, as the residence was formerly used as a tutorial space for Goldsmiths before becoming abandoned and falling into disrepair.
The aim was to open up the interiors, which were heavily compartmentalised, and make better use of its dark and damp basement.
Bredenkamp dug down to increase the height of the ceiling and added an extension to the rear. It now hosts an open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining room adjoining the garden.
A box-like volume rises from one side of the extension and includes large sections of glazing. It forms a gallery-like space in the house, with a tall dark-grey wall for hanging artwork.
"The low ceiling heights of Victorian basements are rarely fit for modern living and often remain under-used as darker and sometimes damp spaces," said Bredenkamp.
"The scope to develop over four floors invited the opportunity to introduce a double-height space adding drama and creating a gallery-like space," he continued.
There is also a set of folding doors that open from the lounge into the garden, while part of the new roof above the dining table is glazed to further improve natural lighting.
The kitchen is placed in the original structure and features a central island made out of white bricks and topped by a cast-concrete counter.
Bredenkamp's office is located behind the kitchen, through a set of double doors.
