The White Box

We proudly present ‘The White Box’. It is located on the very same road as our project ‘The Black Box’ in Aldersbrook, Wanstead, East London.

We have remodelled and extended the ground floor to provide a now generously arranged kitchen and dining area plus a utility- and bathroom.

It was a specific client request to keep everything minimal which we fully embraced: The extension is formed of a special white concrete block which makes a reappearance internally in the shape of walls, the kitchen splash back and the shower enclosure. Subtle differences in the surface textures have been chosen not only to provide some variation but also to suite different functions. The bathroom and all joinery are kept in white. This and the generous amount of glazing and a skylight ensure that the space is flooded with light. A striking stainless steel kitchen island forms a grounded centre piece. A deep metal canopy frames the outlook to the lush garden whilst providing shade at the same time. The tall sliding glass doors are framed in brushed aluminium which to us was the logical choice for a functional and minimalistic coherence. Despite the minimalism the place never feels cold.
