Sketch Architects have refurbished a home in South West London by adding a spacious, bright rear extension, that features a large glass door extending into the garden, and a usable, playful basement room.

In the entryway of the home, there’s a tall pocket door that opens to reveal the new extension.

Maida Vale Apartment is a minimalist refurbishment located in London, United Kingdom, designed by MWAI. The project is a renovation of a split-level top floor apartment in a Victorian terrace in central London. At the heart of the project is the beautifully crafted entrance hall. The space provides the occupant their first impression of the home and all other spaces connect off it. Soft textured polished plaster in a carefully controlled linear pattern transforms the space into a calming environment that leaves a lasting impression throughout the remainder of the house. Through the use of geometry and pattern the minimal spaces are given character and a fresh face. The sharpness is softened through the choice of materials and the geometric rigor that they have undergone. This duality between the sharpness of the geometry and softness of texture and tone results in a beautiful and enchanting family home.

Eldridge London’s Cor-Ten House is an exercise in delivering a finely resolved, highly detailed home, on a typical suburban site, whilst pursuing an experimental form and extensive off-site fabrication. The design could be considered prototypical, yet it is also highly tuned to the specific client?s brief and personality.
