Matthew Giles Architects undertook an extensive redesign and remodelling of a five-bedroom Victorian house in Wandsworth, creating a new maximum ceiling height kitchen/dining/family room opening onto the garden, with exposed roof structure and exposed concrete beams. A generous master bedroom suite and guest suite take up the first floor while two further bedrooms and family bathroom are at the top of the house. Logan Irvine-MacDougall Photography.
A project to extend and remodel this house to maximise height and volume resulted in an impressive vaulted ceiling in the kitchen/dining area, full-length glass roof and exposed structure with feature exoskeleton frame visually floating over the concrete floor. Created by Stylus Architects and built by Green Sheen, the design incorporates renewable technology so it also ticks the sustainable box. Chris Snook Photography.
A contemporary new-build to create open-plan spaces that weren’t clinical and cold was part of the brief to LLI Design, together with mid-century, contemporary and traditional styling to fill throughout. The double-height living area is the core of the house with views maintained from the entrance hall and rear garden with the help of a bespoke floor-to-ceiling open shelving unit in black matt lacquered metal.
A brief to reconfigure, extend and add a basement to this tired semi-detached house evolved in to a new-build house with basement and garden room twice the size of the original
for Granit Architecture + Interiors. The result was a mix of large open places and a spa, snug and treatment room. Green technology means annual CO2 emissions per square metre are approximately 40 per cent less than building regulations require. Andrew Beasley Photography.
Proctor and Shaw opened up the lower floors of this mid-19th century townhouse to light and height with one void made into a new stair and lightwell and another at basement level re-establishing a small outdoor garden space reconnecting the home with nature and fresh air. Ståle Eriksen Photography.
Untouched for 30 years, the owner of this apartment wanted dRaw Architecture to combine glamour with function when remodelling the space and adding a loft extension. The addition of an entire floor plus redistribution of bedrooms created a larger living space with internal Crittall glazing to zone the space during the three-month build. Cat Dal Interiors was the interior designer.
A linear grid of wood and marble cutting across each other to create an interplay of light, timeless neutrals, layered textures and a monochrome palette are the hallmark of Kelly Hoppen, creating a calming, sophisticated and multifunctional space in this luxury apartment.

This contemporary townhouse has a ground floor double volume space with first floor living area overlooking the ground floor kitchen/dining/casual living area below. The two areas are linked by a feature open-tread staircase with a minimal steel stringer and glass balustrade. LLI Design carried out the planning and design and sister company Pegasus Property undertook the development.
The owners of this Victorian schoolhouse apartment tasked Stephen Kavanagh Architects to overhaul its soulless 1990s conversion and bring back the charm of the original building in a contemporary way. The double-height space was augmented with dramatic pendants, a sculptural extactor hood and collections of artwork, while the low ceiling heights above and below the mezzanine create calm bedrooms, and the beams inspired a series of playful level changes in the master bedroom to subdivide the space. Megan Taylor Photography.
Merrett Houmøller was tasked with creating an urban oasis to blur the lines between inside and out and bring nature and natural light into the space. The result is this six-metre full-width ground floor rear extension clad in ‘fish scale’ natural slates featuring three pitched roofs across the rear elevation and two courtyards which give filtered light and natural ventilation throughout the extension.
