This Fulham project creates new living space with a bedroom and dining area added to the main house and an enlarged studio at the end of the garden. The existing layout was reconfigured and fully refurbished to unify old and new. London stock brick ties the extensions to the original house, paired with charred Siberian larch cladding and white-oiled larch fencing and details.

The house and studio are designed as companions, sharing materials and forms but composed differently to suit their uses. Raised dormer windows bring light into the interiors and create a dialogue between the two buildings, giving the garden a subtle cloister-like character and echoing the existing window proportions.

Inside, the main staircase from ground to first floor is crafted from oak and features steam-bent balusters made by a specialist furniture maker.
