The brief

A renovation to adapt a Highgate Hill house to a growing family, planned to respect the house's original character while making it work better.

The plan was redesigned to add new living spaces on the lower level, with flexible rooms for everyday family use. The interior was refreshed with comfort, flow and longevity in mind.

The outdoor entertaining areas were improved so the house lives beyond its walls. The finished house keeps its character and suits modern life.
