HOUSE IN FULHAM – RENOVATED AND A LOFT CONVERSION

The house was originally a non-descript 1970’s council house, it was bought by a theatre production manager and transformed with light and innovation. Attention to detail was paramount and the introduction of as much light as possible. The main living space has a secret door to enclose the space or open for special occasions. Two double/triple-height light wells were punched through from the roof level to bathe the stairwells in light, also forming an amazing light sculptural void over the bathroom. The stairs use innovative, concealed, magnet-driven connectors so no fixings are visible. The slatted screen supports the steps and creates an animation and open feel to the first-floor landing. The floor-to-ceiling doors throughout add a sense of generous proportions. This is echoed at the rear of the dormer, with the huge sliding doors into the garden.

STORIES MEWS – NEW BUILD PASSIVHAUS

The client, downsizing from a large Georgian home, was persuaded to build a 3 bed Passivhaus with energy efficiency and comfort a priority. A challenging site, located in a narrow mews lane in central London, and formerly a double garage for the main house.  The design utilised brick clad SIP panels, constructed off-site and delivered on small lorries. The external industrial aesthetic complemented the functional qualities of the existing mews and the use of roof windows maximises light to the rear and upper floors. The clean and spacious feel provides an exceptional and inviting living area and the house requires 1/20th the energy of the average home, achieving outstanding comfort and air-tightness. Additional solar panels and a pool with electronic sliding decking further compliment this unique and award-winning home.
