North London
White Lodge is a Grade II-listed house in Monken Hadley, North London. The oldest parts date to the 17th Century, and inchoate additions and alterations have taken place periodically ever since. The Weather Room is Liddicoat & Goldhill’s first complete work, and the latest layer added to this historic building. Our brief was to reunite disconnected wings of the house and open the building to its extensive garden. The solution is entirely bespoke, and was refined in the steelworker’s workshop with contractor, architect and engineer working closely together. The fine steelwork conceals LED lighting and forms a portal frame to support the structural glazed floor. The interior is tempered by the external condition. By day, we sought the play of light and shadow from the glass and steel flats. As night falls, blades of light emerge from the steel to succeed the sun; the space assumes an entirely different character.
