This project involved the remodelling and extension of a quirky house in the St John’s Wood Conservation Area which had previously been the home of a renowned artist. The clients wanted a fun and contemporary space whilst retaining some of characteristics of the original property, formerly part of a chapel.

We embraced the property’s quirks, retaining original features such as arched doorways and introducing Crittall doors to enhance light and flow. The rear of the property was extended to house t creating a generous heart to the home that opens onto the garden—a perfect setting for family gatherings and creative pursuits.

Throughout, a diverse palette of materials and an imaginative use of colour bring energy and sophistication, balancing the old with the new. Bespoke joinery and thoughtfully curated finishes provide both function and flair, while playful touches nod to the home’s artistic legacy. The result is a timeless, characterful space—one that feels at once fresh, fun, and ready to evolve with the family for years to come.

Gothic Windows

One particular challenge involved the large gothic windows in the master bedroom, a legacy of the old chapel, which encroached into the floor above. To achieve separation between the two floors whilst respecting the historic building fabric, the windows were remade in their original design and reinstalled at a more suitable level.
