A Modern Oriel Window by Platform 5 Architects
London based Platform 5 Architects have designed a modern oriel window as part of a renovation to a run-down derelict house in the London Borough of Hackney.
The modern structural glass oriel window is lined with cherry wood and projects into the garden, juxtaposing with the Victorian bay window that projects into the street.

An excellent use of space and natural light. I absolutely love the brick wall with the glass and the modern kitchen/dining area. The little “bay” window with the wonderful wood daybed would be the perfect place to read a book during a nice rain shower.
Very, very nice job.

The oversized door at the end of the kitchen corridor is great and the box window looks like a wonderful place to lounge while reading a book.

I love how Brits manage to make glass modernity coexist with the old. What got me though is how they thought to expand the indoor dining space by merely wrapping an otherwise least used path into more living area without making it visually cramped. And just as Lance said, how wicked must it be curled up and cozy in the window while it’s grey and pouring outside.

Beautiful work! I wish more people in Ottawa would learn from this : the right way of renovating an older building!
