This project involved the complete reconfiguration of a dark, compartmentalized Victorian terrace into a light-filled family home. The design centers around a new double-height glazed atrium that acts as a 'lightwell,' pulling sunlight deep into the plan. We retained the original cornicing and fireplaces in the front reception rooms to preserve the historic character, while the rear kitchen features polished concrete floors, bespoke oak joinery, and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that dissolve the boundary between inside and out. The result is a home that respects its past while embracing modern open-plan living.
