Personal Sky Garden is a project designed by Scenario Architecture in 2014, covers an area of 252 m2 and is located in London, United Kingdom. Photography by Matthew Clayton.

“Our clients purchased a unit in this 1990s live-work complex with planning permission for a roof extension. They invited us to redesign and personalize the flat to complement their lifestyle.

We achieved further planning permission for our reinterpretation of the two-storey roof extension and visualized a self-contained two-bedroom flat at ground level. Highlights of the project include a sunken roof terrace connected to the upper floor with glazed elevations – it brings an abundance of natural light into the main living areas. A new central staircase divides the otherwise open plan into four distinct areas, eliminating the need for hallways.

Our scheme incorporates areas with disparate functions into a coherent layout, maximizing the natural light available for each space. We also created sight-lines from the living area to the sky and garden, a unique benefit the clients cherished in their previous home.”
