The high-level of restoration works include repairing damaged plasterwork and replacement of uPVC windows and doors with metal-framed units to reinstate the Art Deco opulent and linear style.

Our London Architects proposed to remove the poorly designed pitched roof to be replaced with one that reduces the building’s overall height whilst creating a spacious master suite with views overlooking the rear garden and towards the London skyline.

To the rear, a modest first-floor extension sits over part of an existing single-storey extension. The proposed re-modelling of the rear elevation was to re-establish symmetry and rhythm whilst creating dramatic spaces internally.

Internally, the location of the new lift was considered with the importance to be respectful to the house’s existing structure and the client’s wish for each floor to be free-flowing.

The result is a fully accessible family home with original Art Deco features and modern interpretations, forming a sympathetic balance between old and new.
