Challenge

Transforming an impractical Victorian terrace house into a modern, Scandinavian-inspired home, all while maintaining a selection of traditional elements and working within the parameters of the existing property.

Approach

We redesigned the ground floor layout by removing major walls, then added new openings to create an open-plan kitchen-living-dining room with a separate reception area. We also incorporated wooden floors, timber furnishings, industrial lighting, and underfloor heating to achieve a minimalist Scandinavian aesthetic.

Solution

The result is a spacious, light-filled home with Crittal-style rear doors and a skylight, blending traditional and modern elements perfectly.
