The house is an early 20th Century dwelling infilled between two semi detached villas within the De Beauvoir estate. The client sought to improve the spatial quality and operation of the house in order to create a calm atmosphere for quiet reflection and meditation.
Retaining the existing facade, it’s neat scale is defined through large open rooms, with deep views front to back that enables the house to function as a continual space. This free flowing arrangement connects the main living spaces, garden and roof terrace whilst private spaces are tightly configured in the centre of the plan, with rooflights and mirrors introduced to enhance natural light.
Triptych House is a Grade II Listed dwelling in Winchester, Hampshire. The property is one of a row of terraced dwellings that are annexed to a large 18th Century manor house.
The property has a modest and unassuming appearance from the roadside. Prior to the renovation and extension, much of the interior of the property felt like a typical home.
A curved ceiling leads up to a large roof window to wash this new kitchen with natural light in this Crouch End (London) kitchen side extension. Externally, a restrained palette of recycled bricks are playfully arranged while extensive natural oak joinery, battening and flooring create a simple and rich internal palette.
Neil Tomlinson Architects has won the GOLD Award for Residential Interiors at the London Design Awards 2019 for its Princes Mews project. The scheme saw the practice converting a former commercial mews garage in London’s Bayswater Conservation Area, creating in its place a stylish and free-flowing 3-bedroom/2-bathroom family home. The spacious, light-filled property now features two stand-out timber staircases, in solid and slatted oak, as well as a brand new, 52 sq m lower-ground floor, increasing the property’s floorplate by a third.
CoStar is a leading commercial property researcher, tracking over 400,000 buildings on their database to provide professionals with expert market research. They were taking up a new, pre-fitted space on the 26th floor in The Shard, and wanted to keep the existing open plan layout and reuse furniture from their previous workspace. We led a series of design workshops with the landlord in order to resource the existing fit out and create a design and layout plan to support CoStar’s work style.

Gabriela Hearst, the sustainable global fashion brand with an uncompromising commitment to the environment, has opened its first London outpost, designed by Foster + Partners.

Norman Foster, Founder and Executive Chairman, Foster + Partners said: “I was inspired by Gabriela’s tireless commitment to sustainability, which fits perfectly with our own enthusiasm for design that demonstrates concern for the environment. The store echoes this approach by using local and recycled materials, to create an inviting experience for customers.”
It was only after living in their 400-year-old Jacobean farmhouse in Suffolk for 3 years that Architect Howard Nash (Co-director of Nash Baker Architects) and his partner Monique Beauval-Nash felt they knew the building well enough to make a start on its renovation. They used this long gestation period to good effect, repairing and improving decaying Victorian farm outbuildings and developing creative ways of tackling the architectural and conservation issues raised by the main farmhouse.
Now, they have completed building works to the farmhouse and the result is a subtle and exquisite weaving together of the historic, the not-quite-so historic and the contemporary into a quietly confident statement of architectural and design excellence.
The brief was to maximise the space internally, whilst providing a loft and rear extension to increase the footprint of the building. Rather than creating a rear facade parallel to the house, the design looked to frame two alternative vistas from the house to the garden. The variety of facades to the rear extension create depth and shadow to the context, presenting a selection of framed views of the interior and exterior alike.
