2,500 sq. ft. semi-detached contemporary Edwardian home with high ceilings and original features in East London.
We designed the house to be fun and striking, keeping the best original features, like the doors, cornicing, entrance hall tiles and fireplaces, and added lots of high quality, quirky, contemporary elements, like high contrasting interiors, hidden doors, a room sized steel wall and hidey-hole in the loft for the kids.
