House for Two Artists London
This project for two artists and their young family involves the extension and refurbishment of an Edwardian house in West London
2011–2012
Client: Private
Project Status: Completed
The ground floor living areas of this Edwardian house in West London have been opened up towards the rear into an expanded kitchen dining room. A new ground floor family living space has been created, allowing views and light to penetrate through the depth of the house. A top-lit library space helps to connect the front rooms of the house through the existing French windows, into a new side extension. Colour and materiality are important to the interior. Crisp, oak furniture and smooth bright colours, meet existing stained or painted brickwork alongside bare, white and tiled walls. A polished concrete floor contributes to the durable but refined aesthetic.
Upstairs, a new double bed-shelf with integrated storage and steel ladder makes the most of a small bedroom for a child, increasing its volume by opening up into the roof space.
