CORK HOUSE by Nimtim Architects

Wednesday 29th November, 10 - 11.45 am

Meeting at 67 Algernon Road SE13 7AS, a 10 min walk from Lewisham Railway Station

The striking use of cork both inside and outside and the use of cheerful colour elements are some of the key attractive points in this unique extension and loft conversion project.  Completed in 2019, it was a process of co-creation with the clients and shortlisted for the AJ Small Projects award.

Commenting on the use of cork, Nimtim stated: ‘The extension is clad internally and externally with cork that complements the existing brickwork on the original house and will weather to a silvery-grey over time. The cork achieves all required u-vales without the need for any additional expanded foam insulation. It absorbs noise internally, is breathable, free from synthetic resins, chemicals or harmful materials and is fully compostable/ recyclable.’

 The visit will be led by Nimi or Allie, practice directors. Both the architect and the owners will be available for questions.
