Architect Pablo Sanchez Lopez Renovates Victorian Terrace with Timber Porch in London

Architect Pablo Sanchez Lopez has completed a renovation of a Victorian terraced house in Walthamstow, London, focusing on the concept of thresholds. The project, named House in Walthamstow, addresses previous insensitive 1970s alterations by creating a continuous ground-floor flow. Key features include a timber-framed entrance porch and a large pivot door leading to the garden, with the staircase repositioned to unify the space. The design emphasizes transitions between interior and exterior, using materials like red grandis timber and terrazzo flooring. Lopez described the approach as rethinking the home's relationship with its surroundings through contemporary design.
