Highgate House
Conversion of a four bedroom house into two individual flats with extension to the back and addition of a full storey. The client commissioned us with the goal of converting their four-bedroom house in Highgate to separate flats in preparation for retirement.
The property is composed of four floors, a garage and a substantial garden. We designed two individual flats for two families and a retirement level within one of the individual flats so as to cater to our client’s changing needs.
The two flats share an entrance however have separate staircases so the floors were configured in such a way that ensures privacy yet have an ease of flow.

Epping Forest Home
The residents at Epping Forest House approached us intending to extend both out the rear of the property along with the loft to not only add an additional bedroom but to also make use of the substantial amount of potential floor space available to them due to a large garden. The property itself is situated in Woodford Green, London and is a typical late 1930’s suburban semi-detached house and in its current state, the property suffers from a boxy layout which hinders the flow of the ground floor especially. Our aim is to open up the floor plan to allow for a more open living space while still being flexible for the large growing family.
The rear of the property is south facing, so making use of as much natural light in what is currently quite a dark ground floor is important. We will aim to use as much of the allowed height as possible to give the kitchen/dining area a real sense of space. This, combined with a carefully selected material palette, will give the open plan downstairs a warm but open feel while still modernising the scheme to contemporary standards thus creating a large space for the family to relax in, to create and entertain.

Private home
Use of family’s own collection of Art, fabrics, pieces from travel and an interest in music mixed with the original features of this Georgian home helped infuse it with colour, patterns and textures.
This family’s interest in art and music gave us inspiration to help make an environment that all can relax in
The finished work brings together past and present, something old, something new, art, texture, colours, pattern and lighting.
We have translated their travels into motifs, colour, texture, patterns and their application in furniture, textiles, modern and antique art. Use of space in any style like classic, modern or contemporary with a hint or more of use of eastern influence has been a joyous combination.

OFFICE INTERIOR-CITY OF LONDON
The client approached us with the intention of achieving a minimalistic space in a small office. We advised and agreed on a colour palette of soft whites, grey and wooden accents to bring warmth to the office. By exposing the right wall of the office and highlighting some of the furniture pieces we created more openness in a small space. Oak wooden flooring helped in tying the space together with wooden furniture pieces. We used some of the original furniture that they had and changed to tables and chairs with space-economising chairs to make the office appear light, open and airy. By making these changes we were able to take advantage of the large windows both as a source of light and being a design feature in themselves by framing the light. All of these helped to create an office space which met our client’s expectations.

HOuse and loft extension in highgate, London
We are honoured to work with our client on this heritage and conservation area residence in Highgate, London. Design and planning consents for this residence in Highgate Village involved working with the client and council to design and plan a retirement flat for our client.
Resolving space for a companion and giving both our client and the companion privacy in a small space was a worthwhile challenge. We added flushed heritage and conservation style skylights to provide natural light in the space and proposed a loft extension for a study area.
The space includes living area, kitchen dining master bedroom with en-suite, guest toilet, and study and bathroom in the loft.
