Seven UK homes that reimagine traditional bay windows

In our latest roundup, we look at recently completed homes and extensions that offer a contemporary twist on traditional bay windows.

Bay windows, which are commonly found across Victorian and Edwardian homes in the UK, typically comprise a series of angled windows that protrude from a building's facade.

Here, we have collected seven modern interpretations, including an angular, terracotta-clad extension and a double-height bay window finished in stone.

Hackney Bay House, UK, by Material Works 

London-based studio Material Works extended this Victorian home in Hackney with a large double-height bay window that takes visual cues from the home's terraced street.

Finished in natural stone, the rear extension creates a series of open, light-filled living spaces on the home's ground floor and mezzanine level.

Terzetto, UK, by ConForm Architects

Green terrazzo, concrete and clay-toned plaster were used by architecture studio ConForm Architects to create the Terzetto extension at this flat in Hampstead, London.

Defined by a geometric form, the extension was modelled on the components of a bay window – including a plinth, column and pediment – and contains an open-plan kitchen and living room.

The Bay Window House Hackney, UK, by Gundry & Ducker

Architecture studio Gundry & Ducker designed a white-painted bay window to unite the existing exterior of this Victorian home in Hackney with its new rear extension.

The studio was tasked by the clients to preserve the home's Victorian features, which were renewed with a fresh palette of colours chosen to "inject some character and drama" into the home.

Freeholders, UK, by Mole Architects

UK studio Mole Architects designed this seaside home in Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk, to look like an ad hoc cluster of cottages and terraces found in the area.

Comprised of three connected blocks, the home's first floor living spaces are complemented by a projecting bay window clad in corten steel that connects two of the home's volumes.
