A discreet dark grey zinc 2nd floor extension was added to the rear of a Victorian terraces house. The house was located in the Clapton Square Conservation Area in central Hackney.

Hardcastle Architects became involved in this project a number of years ago when the Truman Brewery was mainly unused and before the majority of the re-development was carried out as seen today. The original cafe founders approached us to set up the cafe putting an initial design and layout together and arranging the installation of the basic services, facilities and finishes. The cafe has gone through a number of changes since and continues to enjoy success.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>
