Design Concept

Major structural alterations were needed to turn this maze of cellular load bearing construction into a modern London home of 121 square meters. Careful propping and steel beam insertion allowed three feet thick walls to be removed increasing the net usable space by 2.3 square meters.

The dine-in kitchen has been designed as a contemporary extension of the living room; appliances are out of View. But elsewhere in the living room and bedrooms, Victorian ambiance was to be preserved. Dodgy 120 year old moldings and skirting were stripped out and replaced with new precise pro-

files that matched the old.

Location: Earl's Court - London

Area: 121 sq. m
