The project began with a modest brief to address deferred maintenance and upgrade essential services in a family home that no longer met the evolving needs of its occupants. Chief among the challenges was the lack of adequate storage, a pressing issue given the changing requirements of the owners. As the design evolved, it became clear that there was an opportunity to restore the three-storey building to its former glory while enhancing and expanding its living spaces. This realisation shifted the project’s trajectory towards a more cohesive and ambitious vision, balancing practicality with an aesthetic recalibration that the property had long been missing. FPA set out to craft a home that intimately reflected its inhabitants, creating spaces that are not only functional but resonate with their lifestyle. The design achieves a thoughtful balance of preservation, enhancement, and innovation, resulting in a home that feels both timeless and tailored. The historical layout required minimal remodelling, with only localized interventions to improve flow and functionality. Additional space was gained through a hip-to-gable dormer extension under Permitted Development, seamlessly integrating new and old. Externally, traditional materials like London stock bricks and slates honour the building’s heritage, while internally, a warmer, more contemporary palette transforms the home. Plywood, used extensively for wall linings, flooring, and bespoke joinery, showcases the potential of a humble material, offering both simplicity and refinement. The material palette and finishes were deliberately understated yet sophisticated. Muted tones create calm and inviting spaces, while selective use of accent colours adds moments of joy and playfulness. The result is a project that feels grounded and serene, yet undeniably modern—a family home reimagined with sensitivity and character.

minimal windows as a window were installed to the living space providing 21mm vertical framing profile of the sliding glass windows providing minimal obstruction. Structural walk- on glass floors were installed to bridge the divide between the lower floor levels. IQ heated glass was installed for a modern alternative to underfloor heating.

A luxury two bedroom apartment in a high-end development in Chelsea in need of a tailored furniture package to bring it to the market. The angular layout of the open plan reception meant we had to carefully consider the furniture size and placement to make the best use of the space - creating a welcoming home for a buyer to envisage living in. We enhanced the potential of this newly renovated apartment by using neutral colours and used splashes of colour to give a contemporary feel.

La propriétaire souhaitait mettre une touche personnelle pour rendre son nouvel appartement plus chaleureux. Sa personnalité, sa fantaisie ont été la source d’inspiration pour dessiner ces murs graphiques et colorés. Plusieurs propositions lui ont été faites via des simulations 3D et c’est elle qui a réalisé la mise en œuvre de main de maître.
