Matthew Giles Architects used white oak joinery and different floor levels to break up the open-plan ground floor of this redesigned and upgraded six-bedroom house in Wandsworth, London.
The Victorian terraced house belongs to a young family that wanted to create a home that was more suited to entertaining and having relatives stay over.
A small rear extension was added
Originally a four-bedroom house, London practice Matthew Giles Architects was asked by the owners to add two bedrooms and a basement for services and storage.
The family wanted to enhance the connection between inside and outside, as well as improve the light flow and visual connections throughout the house.
