London house extension by Cousins and Cousins has a window wrapping its corner

Cousins and Cousins designed the two-storey extension for a family of six who had outgrown their four bedroom home in Hackney, east London. «The clients were keen for the extension to blend into the existing building,» the architects told Dezeen. The brick-built extension provides a glass-fronted dining room   and extra bedroom for the residence – the first boasts the new modern window, while the second features more traditional fenestration.
