Mimodo Architects’ original method of adding extra living space to the Mile End in London

Mimodo Architects have developed an innovative way of providing extra living space to the Mile End neighborhood in London. The method involves installing modular boxes atop existing buildings to add extra dwellings while carefully preserving the existing urban fabric. Installing the boxes is quick and efficient, with each module taking only a day to set up, while their lightweight construction also reduces the strain on existing structures. The design allows for the flexible alteration of the boxes to meet different occupants' needs while also providing bright outdoor spaces with views of the surrounding area. Additionally, Mimodo Architects have committed to using natural and breathable materials to create healthier and more sustainable living environments.

The extreme rudeness of the original layout can be explained by the fact that the building had previously been used solely for household purposes – as a storage room for various items. But now that the owners are in need of more square footage, renovation is the only way out.

The exterior of the residence

First of all, the architects attached a single-storey extension to the main building, moving the lobby with stairs to its opposite side. Partial removal of walls freed up additional space for arranging the necessary functional areas. It has a new kitchen and a third bedroom.

The project by Mimodo Architects impresses more by its cleverness than by its scale. Much of his success came from the layout of the house and his clever approach to organizing the space.
