Lamorna House

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.
