Finsbury Park House
2022
A contemporary residential living room precedent featuring a seamless large-format sliding glass connection to a garden, paired with light timber floors and a sculptural black wood-burning stove.
- What we like about this project
- The wood-burning stove is positioned directly adjacent to the glass opening without blocking the outdoor view line.

- Large framed sliding glass wall leading to rear garden terrace.
- Structural guess
- Timber frame domestic construction with steel lintel supporting the rear opening above the sliding glass.
- Spatial scale
- Intimate single-family residential room scale, roughly standard ceiling height with a wide garden connection.
- Lighting
- Soft, diffused natural daylight entering through the large rear sliding glass door, supplemented by subtle interior accent lighting on the back shelves.
- Atmosphere
- Calm and inviting with strong indoor-outdoor continuity and soft, bright daylight.
- Environmental context
- Suburban residential interior looking out onto a mature green rear garden and neighboring properties.
- Spatial experience
- A warm, open transition from the interior living space directly out toward the green garden view, anchored by the hearth and facing armchairs.
- Composition rhythm
- Asymmetrical composition balancing the vertical black stove on the left against the deep sliding door frame and the stepped staircase alcove on the right.
