George Kouparitsas Architects' renovation of the Dohori House successfully merges contemporary spatial needs with the original facade of a pre-war home in Ascot. The transformation involved strategically integrating modern elements while preserving the home's historical character. The design emphasizes a dialogue between mass and void, notably through a striking double-storey rear extension made of cast-in-situ concrete, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. Organized around a functional layout, the home features social spaces on the ground floor, while the upper floor accommodates private quarters, all adhering to regulatory constraints and ensuring comfort and privacy.
The project seamlessly merges contemporary design with historical integrity, showcasing how modern needs can successfully coexist with preserved architectural features.
George Kouparitsas Architects has redefined the space by prioritizing functionality while respecting the home's historical context, creating a harmonious living environment.
